This research investigates the relationship between healthcare resource allocation and mortality rates in European regions.
Analyzed 232 NUTS 2 regions in Europe using a spatial error model.
Assessed impact of healthcare expenditures, hospital beds, and medical doctors on mortality.
Employed global and local spatial statistics to identify disparities.
Utilized spatial clustering techniques to map resource allocation and death rates.
Identified higher mortality rates in Central and Eastern Europe for circulatory and digestive diseases.
Discovered regional affluence consistently reduces mortality for various disease categories.
Healthcare expenditures significantly reduce mortality, except for mental disorders.
Hospital beds correlated positively with mortality, suggesting system strain.
Access to medical doctors lowers mortality primarily for mental disorders.
