health services researchRisk AdjustmentLength of Stayhospital transferMortality

Highlights

  • Transfer-in patients have higher individual risk-adjusted mortality compared to nontransfers, reflecting clinical complexity.
  • Hospitals with higher transfer-in patient prevalence exhibit lower mortality risk for those transferred in, suggesting specialized expertise or resources mitigate inherent patient risks.
  • Despite risk adjustment, higher transfer-in prevalence correlates with longer hospital stays and increased overall hospital charges, underscoring resource intensity.
  • Future research should explore repatriation strategies to optimize length of stay and resource utilization at high-transfer tertiary centers.
