Estimating health care delivery system value for each US state and testing key associations.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To estimate health care systems' value in treating major illnesses for each US state and identify system characteristics associated with value.

Data sources

Annual condition-specific death and incidence estimates for each US state from the Global Burden Disease 2019 Study and annual health care spending per person for each state from the National Health Expenditure Accounts.

Study design

Using non-linear meta-stochastic frontier analysis, mortality incidence ratios for 136 major treatable illnesses were regressed separately on per capita health care spending and key covariates such as age, obesity, smoking, and educational attainment. State- and year-specific inefficiency estimates were extracted for each health condition and combined to create a single esti
