[求助] 大全-3-17 (沒人討論過~跪求幫助)

-3-17.        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.（C）

(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.

誰來解釋一下～我整個都看不太懂

这个题目的大意是医院不满根据死亡率排名医院好坏的方法，于是医院提出了一下理由反对，除了：

A。排名相差不多

B。有的医院把病人留的时间长了，结果这样的医院死亡率就高

C。年长的人比年轻人容易死（但是每个医院都可能有老年人和年轻人）

D。有的医院有很多穷人，穷人容易死

E。盈利性医院会把重病人转移到其它医院

我觉得答案C和题目中提到的

The data have been adjusted to allow for differences in the ages of patients. 是矛盾的. 因为这一统计数据已经根据病人的年龄情况调整过了,所以年龄就不再是问题所在了. 所以C似乎不妥. 我选了B. 

请教一下. 谢谢.

请问没人选D吗？

我觉得啊这两个到底那个更容易死啊？我觉得C、D都差不多

老人容易死Patients who are very old 、穷人容易死low-income patients, who tend to be more seriously ill

到底那个对啊。。。

嗯，又想了一下，

是不是说老人虽然very old，但不一定死亡，而穷人seriously ill就死亡的几率大啊？
