Association between hospital financial distress and immediate breast reconstruction surgery after mastectomy among women with ductal carcinoma in situ.
Hospital financial distress may reduce the services a hospital can offer, particularly unprofitable ones. This study examined the association between hospital financial distress (HFD) and receipt of immediate breast reconstruction surgery after mastectomy among women diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). It concluded that the financial strength of the hospital where a patient receives treatment is associated with receipt of immediate breast reconstruction surgery.
