Nationwide analysis of hospital-to-hospital transfer in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage requiring aneurysm repair.

CONCLUSIONSA relatively high percentage of patients with aSAH are transferred between acute care hospitals. Race and income were associated with transfer status. White patients are more likely to be transferred than other races. Patients from zip codes with the highest income transferred at lower rates than those from the lowest income quartile. Transfer patients were preferentially sent to urban teaching hospitals. The modality of aneurysm treatment was not associated with transfer status. PMID: 30497228 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
