Question
Chapter 36, Problem 2DAA
Summary Introduction
To explain: The rate of stroke deaths among blacks living in New York when compared with whites in the same region.
Concept introduction: Stroke is a medical condition in which poor blood flow to the brain leads to cell death. Early action can minimize brain damage and potential complications. It can happen to anyone at any time. It occurs when blood flow to an area of brain is interrupted. When brain cells die in a stroke, functions that are controlled by that area of the brain such as memory and muscle control are lost.

- In the classic 1994 paper, "Does More Intensive Treatment of Acute Myocardial Infarction in the Elderly Reduce Mortality? Analysis using instrumental variables," McClellan, McNeil, and Newhouse, the authors study whether the use of more aggressive procedure, cardiac catheterization, in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) impacts 4-year mortality rates (post AMI). However, the authors point out that there are important observable and unobservable differences between patients who receive more intensive treatments vs. those who do not. To address this issue, the authors' group patients into whether they live relatively close to a hospital that performs these more intensive treatments (such as cardiac catheterization) or relatively far from such hospitals. The underlying assumption in this setup is that distance to a hospital with the intensive procedure is ________ the type of treatment received and/but _________ the health outcome. not correlated with; directly…arrow_forwardIn the classic 1994 paper, "Does More Intensive Treatment of Acute Myocardial Infarction in the Elderly Reduce Mortality?
