Measuring hospital-acquired complications associated with low-value care.

Badgery-Parker T, Pearson SA, Dunn S, Elshaug AG. JAMA Intern Med. 2019 Feb 25; [Epub ahead of print].

In this cohort study, researchers found that patients who developed a hospital-acquired condition after undergoing a procedure that most likely should not have been performed had longer lengths of stay than patients who did not develop a hospital-acquired condition.
