Mortality rate after heart attack higher at St. Paul's, Saskatoon, than others
"A recent report on the outcomes of Saskatchewan heart attack patients reveals significant differences in the patients' likelihood of survival based on what hospital they went to. Local health officials, meanwhile, seem at a loss for an explanation. The Saskatchewan Health Quality Council's new yearly publication, Quality Insight, compiled government data and found about 22 per cent, or slightly more than one in five Saskatchewan people who have a heart attack, will die within a year" - Star Phoenix
