Title: Statistics
Post by: PGH on March 15, 2023, 02:27:27 pm

I am researching options to treat my AN.  Is there a site that has statistics on hospitals and facilities as in number of procedures performed per year and the outcomes?

PGH -

I was unable to find anything like you are wanting when I started my journey in 2019. I asked each institution I consulted with on the numbers of AN patients they treated.  Think about which detail you want.  Things like - how many new patients per year, how many following overall and what percentage elects which of the treatments.

My understanding (from research papers I have come across) is that facilities that treat more patients tend to have better patient outcomes. 

Wishing you a successful journey!
