| pubmed-article:9291395 | pubmed:abstractText | The purpose of this study was to use an 11-state, population-based hospital discharge database to assess the charges for care of patients undergoing cholecystectomy at both medical school affiliated hospitals (MSAHs) and private hospitals (nonMSAHs). It was our hypothesis that MSAHs could indeed provide efficient, competitively priced patient care. | lld:pubmed |
