Sanwald, Alice; Schober, Thomas - 2014
We analyze mortality and follow-up costs of heart attack patients using administrative data from Austria from 2002 … effect on 3-year mortality is -9.5 percentage points. A separation of the sample into subgroups shows the strongest effects … in relative terms for patients below the age of 65. We do not find significant effects on long-term inpatient costs and …
