HOSPITAL-LEVEL FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH DEATH DURING PNEUMONIA-ASSOCIATED HOSPITALIZATION AMONG ADULTS-NEW YORK CITY, 2010-2014.

Hospital-level factors associated with death during pneumonia-associated hospitalization among adults-New York City, 2010-2014.

BackgroundIn New York City (NYC), pneumonia is a leading cause of death and most pneumonia deaths occur in hospitals.Whether the pneumonia death rate in NYC reflects reporting artifact or is associated with factors during pneumonia-associated hospitalization (PAH) is unknown.We aimed to identify hospital-level factors associated with higher than ex
