Age-friendly health systems recognition

Age-friendly health systems recognition has no effect on postoperative mortality in humans (adjusted difference -0.7 percentage points (95% CI -1.7 to +0.3, P=0.17)).

“We found no evidence that 30-day postoperative mortality rates differ between hospitals with vs. without AFHS recognition (adjusted mortality rate, 6.7% vs. 7.5%; adjusted difference, -0.7 percentage points; 95% confidence interval, -1.7 to + 0.3; P-value = 0.17).”
