Introduction: There are regional differences in the morbidity of major cardiovascular disease between the 16 federal states of Germany. An association between the morbidity and the health care supply has been described in international studies. The aim of the present analysis was to examine the relationship between the prevalence or mortality of major cardiovascular disease and several key indicators of health care supply in Germany. Methods: Life expectancy and the proportion of over 65-year…

[Correlation between Area-Level Sociodemographic Patterns and Estimates of Need for Medical Care].
TLDR
The extracted factors to describe area-level sociodemographic patterns showed distinct correlations to indicators for medical care use, and urbanity index showed consistent relations with specific medical care needs, which may be linked to urban living conditions.
Quantifying the Health Benefits of Primary Care Physician Supply in the United States
TLDR
Results for all-cause mortality suggest that an increase of one primary care physician per 10,000 population was associated with an average mortality reduction of 5.3 percent, or 49 per 100,000 per year, regardless of the year or level of analysis.

Access to Primary Care in US Counties Is Associated with Lower Obesity Rates
TLDR
The observed association between the supply of PCPs and lower rates of obesity may not be causal, but may have important implications for restructuring the physician workforce in the context of the current PCP shortage and implementation of the Affordable Care Act and the patient-centered medical home.

TLDR
Considering the existing serious indicators of a growing shortage of physicians, it is recommended to put more effort into the scientific investigation of these factors.
What accounts for the regional differences in the utilisation of hospitals in Germany?
TLDR
By far the most important reason for the regional variation in the utilisation of in-patient services is differences in medical needs, which accounts for 73 % of the variation at state level in terms of observable factors.
