The first compares survival rates for cancer patients in the United States and Ontario, Canada, while the second examines patterns in 10 countries in the use of bone marrow transplants to treat leukemia. Both studies focus on dimensions commonly associated with the quality of a health care system. The survival study compares outcomes for cancer patients, while the bone marrow study measures the availability and appropriateness of bone marrow transplants. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-PEMD-94-21/html/GAOREPORTS-T-PEMD-94-21.htm GAO/T-PEMD-94-21 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-PEMD-94-21 Testimony GAO/T-PEMD-94-21; Health Care Quality: How Does the United States Compare with Other Countries on Cancer Survival and Access to Bone Marrow Transplantation?; Comparative analysis Cancer Cancer research Attrition rates Patient care services Health statistics Quality-of-life data Foreign governments Medical research Ontario (Canada) NCI Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program Australia Canada Denmark France Germany Netherlands New Zealand Sweden United Kingdom
