The study analyzes market shares (or competitiveness) of Maryland hospitals based on a service area definition of hospitals used for acute care planning in Maryland. The study uses this service area definition to analyze market shares of Maryland hospitals, to test them under alternative hypotheses and, finally, to examine the impact of several key variables. The study finds that proximity of other hospitals, and hospital's occupied bed size, have statistically significant impacts on market shares of hospitals irrespective of hospital location in a metropolitan or rural area.
该研究基于马里兰州用于急性护理规划的医院服务区定义，分析了马里兰州各医院的市场份额（或竞争力）。该研究使用这一服务区定义来分析马里兰州各医院的市场份额，在备择假设下对其进行检验，并最终考察几个关键变量的影响。研究发现，其他医院的 proximity 以及医院的占用床位数，无论医院位于大都市还是农村地区，对医院的市场份额均有统计学上的显著影响。 （注：原文中“proximity”未翻译，可能是拼写有误，若为“proximity”，常见释义为“接近；临近” ）
