大全3-17

[Huang Hsin-Yi]

17. Lists of hospitals have been compiled showing which hospitals have patient death rates exceeding the national average. The data have been adjusted to allow for differences in the ages of patients.
Each of the following, if true, provides a good logical ground for hospitals to object to interpreting rank on these lists as one of the indices of the quality of hospital care EXCEPT:
(A) Rank order might indicate insignificant differences, rather than large differences, in numbers of patient deaths.
(B) Hospitals that keep patients longer are likely to have higher death rates than those that discharge patients earlier but do not record deaths of patients at home after discharge.
(C) Patients who are very old on admission to a hospital are less likely than younger patients to survive the same types of illnesses or surgical procedures.
(D) Some hospitals serve a larger proportion of low-income patients, who tend to be more seriously ill when admitted to a hospital.
(E) For-profit hospitals sometimes do not provide intensive-care units and other expensive services for very sick patients but refer or transfer such patients to other hospitals.

Ans:C

題目是要問SUPPORT?

allow for differences in the ages of patients
題目中已提到年紀的差別...

只有C選項有提到...

[Huang Hsin-Yi]

其實我是真的不知道題目在問什麼~~~~ 小結一下

題目:醫院名單顯示病人死亡率超過國家標準.這個比例已經有調整年齡差異
問題:那一個選項無法合理成為評量醫院品質的依據

以上是我的理解,但還是不知如何選到答案

[whoisallan]

我的解讀是找支持的選項...except....

Each of the following, if true, provides a good logical ground for hospitals to object to interpreting rank on these lists as one of the indices of the quality of hospital care EXCEPT:

所以C的意思是說: 老的病人跟年紀輕的病人相比, 比較難以從外科手術中survive

The data have been adjusted to allow for differences in the ages of patients

allow for: 考慮...

被調整去考慮到病人年紀的差異

這樣應該比較清楚了

[Huang Hsin-Yi]

感謝whoisallan,我終於,終於懂了~~~~~~,原來問題沒弄懂

題目:醫院名單顯示病人死亡率超過國家標準.這個比例已經有調整年齡差異
問題:那一個選項無法讓醫院用來拒絕排行榜是醫療品質好壞的理由
C:老的病人跟年紀輕的病人相比, 比較難以從外科手術中survive
題目已經說年齡差異已考慮進去,因此此理由不通


感謝喔~~~~
