| Popis: | Objective Although citizens’ equal right to acute healthcare of appropriate quality is an oft-cited goal for modern societies, healthcare disparities may persist. We aimed to investigate inequality in compensation claims and compensation payments regarding acute healthcare services. Design and setting We conducted a cross-sectional study of compensation claim patterns using the Danish Patient Compensation Association (DPCA) registries. Participants, interventions and main outcome measures We used register data on all cases managed by DPCA relating to acute hospital healthcare for adults (aged > 18 years) from 2007 to 2017. Results In total, the DPCA had 5556 compensation claims for injuries caused by acute care services during the years 2007–2017. Age group of 50–64 years (odds ratio (OR) = 1.37 compared with those aged 18–49 years; P Conclusions Findings from our Danish material suggest some inequality in compensation claims and compensation payments regarding acute healthcare services. |
