Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Are facility-Level Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Readmission Rates Associated With Facility-Level Mortality : Insights From the VA Clinical Assessment , Reporting , and Tracking ( CART ) Program?
Answer: Thirty-day readmissions after PCI are common and are a significant risk factor for mortality for individual patients even after robust statistical adjustment for clinical confounding. However, lack of correlation between readmission and mortality at the facility level suggests that quality improvement based on facility-level readmission rates will not modify mortality in this high-risk group.
Output (English): no
