1. Study Purpose
and/or a priori
Hypothesis:
To compare
demographic data,
indications, and inhospital
mortality
from large
multicenter PCI
databases in
Michigan, where
public reporting is
not mandated, and
in New York where
it is.
To test the
hypotheses that
hospitals and
surgeons with
better outcomes
reported in the
NYS Cardiac
Surgery Reports
experience a
relative increase in
their market share
and prices.
