A study published in Annals of Internal Medicine found that women hospitalized for medical conditions between 2016 and 2019 were more likely to survive if treated by female doctors.
Results for: mortality rates
A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that patients treated by female doctors have lower mortality rates and are less likely to be readmitted to the hospital. Female patients benefit even more from being treated by female doctors. The researchers suggest that these differences may be due to factors such as male doctors underestimating the severity of female patients’ illnesses, female doctors communicating better with their female patients, and female patients being more comfortable receiving sensitive examinations and engaging in detailed conversations with female doctors. Further research is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms linking physician gender with patient outcomes.
A recent study published in Annals of Internal Medicine found that patients treated by female physicians have lower rates of mortality and hospital readmissions compared to those treated by male physicians. This difference was found to be particularly significant for female patients. The researchers suggest that these findings indicate that female and male physicians practice medicine differently and that these differences have a meaningful impact on patients’ health outcomes. Further research is needed to investigate the underlying mechanisms linking physician gender with patient outcomes.
Patients treated by female doctors have lower mortality rates compared to those treated by male physicians, according to a study published in the Annals of International Medicine. The study examined Medicare claims data from 2016 to 2019 for over 777,000 patients and found that the mortality rate for female patients was 8.15% when treated by female physicians versus 8.38% when the physician was male. While the difference for male patients was smaller, female physicians still had the edge with a 10.15% mortality rate compared with male doctors 10.23% rate.
A recent study has revealed that female patients treated by female doctors have lower mortality and hospital readmission rates compared to those treated by male doctors. This discrepancy was particularly noticeable among female patients, suggesting a difference in medical practices between female and male physicians. The researchers highlight the need for further investigation into the underlying reasons behind this disparity to improve patient outcomes.
A recent study published in Annals of Internal Medicine found that patients treated by female physicians had lower mortality and readmission rates compared to those treated by male physicians. This finding is consistent with previous research that has shown similar results. The researchers analyzed data from over 700,000 Medicare patients aged 65 years or older and found that just under a third of them were treated by female physicians. While there were no significant differences between groups in terms of key hospital care metrics such as length of stay and spending, both male and female patients treated by female physicians had lower death and readmission rates. The difference was particularly significant for female patients, who are underrepresented in medical research and more likely to misdiagnoses and medical mistakes during treatment than men.
