Clinically Screening Hospital Patients for Social Risk Factors Across Multiple Hospitals: Results and Implications for Intervention Development.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHospitals are increasingly screening patients for social risk factors to help improve patient and population health. Intelligence gained from such screening can be used to inform social need interventions, the development of hospital-community collaborations, and community investment decisions.
objectiveWe evaluated the frequency of admitted patients' social risk factors and examined whether these factors differed between hospitals within a health system. A central goal was to determine if community-level social need interventions can be similar across hospitals. DESIGN AND
participantsWe described the development, implementation, and results from Northwell Health's social risk factor screening module. The statistical sample included patients admitted to 12 New York City/Long Island hospitals (except for maternity/pediatrics) who were clinically screened for social risk factors at admission from June 25, 2019, to January 24, 2020. MAIN MEASURES: We calculated frequencies of patients' social needs across all hospitals and for each hospital. We used chi-square and Friedman tests to evaluate whether the hospital-level frequency and rank order of social risk factors differed across hospitals.
resultsPatients who screened positive for any social need (n = 5196; 6.6% of unique patients) had, on average, 2.3 of 13 evaluated social risk factors. Among these patients, the most documented social risk factor was challenges paying bills (29.4%). The frequency of 12 of the 13 social risk factors statistically differed across hospitals. Furthermore, a statistically significant variance in rank orders between the hospitals was identified (Friedman test statistic 30.8 > 19.6: χ2 critical, p = 0.05). However, the hospitals' social need rank orders within their respective New York City/Long Island regions were similar in two of the three regions.
conclusionsHospital patients' social needs differed between hospitals within a metropolitan area. Patients at different hospitals have different needs. Local considerations are essential in formulating social need interventions and in developing hospital-community partnerships to address these needs.
