| Study: Patients of Older Physicians Have a Higher Mortality Rate |
|
According to a study by Harvard researchers, patients of older physicians have a higher mortality rate than those of their younger colleagues. The study, published in the British Medical Journal, looked at more than 700,000 patients being treated by about 19,000 doctors from 2011 to 2014, reported Ars Technica, a tech and science website. All the patients were aged 65 or older and on Medicare. From the data, researchers found a clear rise in mortality rates as the age of the doctors increased.
