Research
The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics and outcomes of patients referred for inpatient hospital transfer to Mount Sinai Medical Center. These patients anecdotally have poor clinical outcomes, but a systematic evaluation of this special population has not been performed. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that patients with acute on chronic liver failure were more likely to have inpatient mortality. Future efforts will focus on a cost analysis of inpatient hospital transfers to the liver service.

Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
