Exhibit 185 ยท Systematic review
Evaluating trends in private equity ownership and impacts on health outcomes, costs, and quality: systematic review
No consistently beneficial impacts of PE ownership were identified.
Reviewed 55 empirical studies, 47 from the United States, of which 32 assessed impacts. Nine of twelve studies found higher costs to patients or payers, three found no difference and none found lower costs. Quality results were mixed but more often adverse. Health outcomes had too few studies for a general conclusion. Narrative synthesis; no pooled mortality effect.
