To examine 30-day mortality and National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation for cancer patients who are immunocompromised and hospitalized.
Secondary analysis of 1998 and 1999 hospital claims, cancer registry, and vital statistics (n = 10,370) linked to survey and administrative data from 160 Pennsylvania hospitals. Logistic regression models estimated the effects of NCI designation on the likelihood of 30-day mortality.
NCI-designated centers were associated with a 33% reduction in the likelihood of death, after adjusting for patient, hospital, and nursing characteristics.
Immunocompromised cancer patients have lower mortality in NCI-designated hospitals. Identification and adoption of care processes from these institutions may improve mortality.
调查免疫功能低下并住院的癌症患者的 30 天死亡率和美国国家癌症研究所(NCI)指定。
对 1998 年和 1999 年的医院索赔、癌症登记和生命统计数据(n=10370)进行二次分析,并与来自宾夕法尼亚州 160 家医院的调查和行政数据相关联。逻辑回归模型估计了 NCI 指定对 30 天死亡率的可能性的影响。
在调整了患者、医院和护理特征后,NCI 指定的中心与死亡可能性降低 33%相关。
免疫功能低下的癌症患者在 NCI 指定的医院中的死亡率较低。识别和采用这些机构的护理流程可能会提高死亡率。
