Hospitals Acquired By Private Equity Firms: Increased Postoperative Mortality For Common Inpatient Surgeries @DiazAdrian10 @jdimick1 @Health_Affairs @UMichCHOP www.healthaffairs.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Note to Canadians looking at privately owned hospitals as an option here - US data strongly suggests deaths among surgical patients are higher @healthAffairs www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/...

Hospitals acquired by PE show a 2.7 pp ↑ in 30D surgical mortality, driven by a 3.9 pp ↑ in failure to rescue. We need enforceable nurse‑staffing minimums, full ownership transparency, and federal review of PE transactions. @andrewmibrahim.bsky.social @um-ihpi.bsky.social bit.ly/432VyWP
