Abstract
⺠The longevity effect of hospital therapeutic procedure innovation is investigated. ⺠The date of introduction of each medical procedure is known. ⺠Survival can be measured for a period as long as 8 years after admission. ⺠Innovation increased life expectancy by at least 2 months between 2000 and 2007. ⺠Innovation had a negligible effect on medical expenditure.
