The effect of physician and hospital market structure on medical technology diffusion.
The researchers examined the influence of physician and hospital market structures on medical technology diffusion, studying the diffusion of drug-eluting stents (DESs), which became available in April 2003. They found that DESs diffused faster in markets where cardiology practices faced more competition. Conversely, there was no evidence that the structure of the hospital market mattered.

All-payer analysis of heart failure hospitalization 30-day readmission: comorbidities matter.
In this study, the researchers investigated readmission characteristics and the magnitude of 30-day hospital readmissions after hospital discharge for heart failure using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State Inpatient Databases (SID). They found in this large all-payer cohort, ∼70% of 30-day readmissions were for non-heart failure causes, and the median time to readmission was 12 days.
