The Patient Data

All 10 patients share the same five filters: Female · Emergency admission · Cancer diagnosis · Age 30–55 · Prescribed Paracetamol. Here's a snapshot of their records and test outcomes.

The Human Side of the Data

Behind every row in that table is a real patient navigating a cancer diagnosis through an emergency admission. Access, speed of care, and resources all shape outcomes.

Key Findings

Four takeaways emerge from analyzing this group of emergency cancer admissions.

💰
Wide Billing Range
Billing spans from $1,474 to $45,913 — a 30× gap within the same diagnosis and admission type, suggesting large variance in treatment intensity.
🧪
Mixed Test Outcomes
Only 3 of 10 patients (30%) returned Normal results. 4 were Abnormal and 3 Inconclusive — pointing to complex or advancing conditions.
🩸
Diverse Blood Types
The group spans 6 different blood types (A+, O+, O−, B+, AB+, A−), confirming the filter captures a diverse cross-section, not a genetic cluster.
📊
$242K Total Cost
Total billing for just 10 patients is $242,249 — averaging $24,225 per patient. Emergency cancer care is a significant cost driver.

Conclusion

Emergency Cancer Care Demands Closer Attention

Women ages 30–55 admitted to Emergency with cancer represent a high-cost, high-complexity patient group. With 70% returning non-Normal test results and billing ranging wildly, the data suggests that earlier intervention — before emergency-level care is needed — could improve outcomes and reduce costs significantly.
