Hospital resource intensity and cirrhosis mortality in United States

Figure 1 Variation in risk and reliability-adjusted mortality for cirrhosis admissions. The 805 hospitals in the analysis demonstrated tremendously variable mortality risk, even after risk adjusting for clinical and demographic differences between patients and accounting for differences in the reliability of the estimate for a given hospital, which is driven by institutional cirrhosis volume. Cirrhosis mortality odds ratios ranged from nearly 50% lower than the average hospital to 200% higher for some hospitals.
