Exploring the influence of proximity to death on disease-specific hospital expenditures: a carpaccio of red herringsEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
It has been demonstrated repeatedly that time to death is a much better predictor of health care expenditures than age. This is known as the 'red herring' hypothesis. In this article, we investigate whether this is also the case regarding disease-specific hospital expenditures. Longitudinal data samples from the Dutch hospital register (n=11 253 455) were used to estimate 94 disease-specific two-part models. Based on these models, Monte Carlo simulations were used to assess the predictive value of proximity to death and age on disease-specific expenditures. Results revealed that there was a clear effect of proximity of dea...

Discussion The research results suggest the existence of relevant differences in the amount of specialist consultation according to health
insurance and other socioeconomic features. Further research could concentrate on the question of whether these inequalities
in utilization levels indicate overprovision or underprovision of ambulant health care. Moreover, we recommend longitudinal
research that is particularly suited to detangle age and cohort effects.

CONCLUSIONS: In a setting in which ability to pay is neutralized, inpatient stroke rehabilitation service in this universal NHI program was equitable but inadequate relative to use elsewhere or estimated need. Less severe case mix and financial or human resources constraints might partially account for the low utilization. Further studies measuring stroke severity and functional status are needed to clarify the actual utilization, requirements, and cost-effectiveness of inpatient stroke rehabilitation services.

one, there is a need to identify strategies to prevent a woman’s first VLBW birth and to reduce recurrences.
