The current landscape of low-value care in men diagnosed with prostate cancer: what is the role of individual hospitals?
CONCLUSION: There is wide hospital-level variability in low-value treatment of men with limited life expectancies and low-risk PCa. Hospitals more likely to treat men with limited life expectancies were more likely to treat men with low-risk PCa and vice versa. Identifying drivers and modifying practice at these hospitals may represent an effective tool for reducing overtreatment.
