Description
Preston Leung and co-authors compared heart attack readmissions at for-profit and nonprofit hospitals across the United States, in a 2026 study. About eight hundred thousand heart attacks strike the country each year, and quick returns to hospital count as a quality mark. The team read a national database for the years 2013 to 2022.
Of some 4.6 million heart attack stays, about one in nine led to an unplanned return within a month. Return rates fell at nonprofit hospitals but barely moved at for-profit ones. After risk checks, for-profit care still carried higher odds of return, plus more lung and kidney trouble at the return visit. Fewer of those patients went straight home afterward. The authors say the gap should shape policy on fairness in heart care.
