Abstract

Is private healthcare associated with better clinical outcomes? Benedetto and colleagues used national surgical audit data from 2009 to 2018 in England to study impact of private adult cardiac surgery on outcomes. They conclude that private operations within NHS hospitals, ordinarily offering operations free at point of service, were associated with 21% reduction in risk of in-hospital mortality, compared with non-fee paying operations, adjusting for case-mix [1].
