本文估计了医院拥挤对医疗决策和患者健康结果的影响。利用紧急入院的伪随机变化，我发现再入院率为4.1%。非参数分析和异质性分析表明？？更快，病更重？出院会增加再入院人数。在床位较少、病人病情较重的医院部门，拥挤的影响更大，也更强
This paper estimates the impact of hospital crowding on medical treatment decisions and patient health outcomes. Exploiting pseudorandom variation in emergency admissions, I find that a readmission rate by 4.1 percent. Nonparametric and heterogeneity analyses suggest that ???quicker and sicker??? discharges contribute to the additional readmissions. The crowding impacts are larger in hospital departments with fewer beds, sicker patients, and stronger
