AIMS:

The objectives of this study were as follows: to examine the regression of the life expectancy and health-care inputs and also to investigate the regression of death rate and health-care inputs.

SETTINGS AND DESIGN:

This study was a panel dataset analysis of OECD countries.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A generalized method of moment (GMM) regression models with country-level health outcomes (death rate and life expectancy) as dependent variables were estimated. A panel dataset with n= 26 (the number of countries) and T= 12 (the number of time periods) was used. The GMM regression model was used to estimate the effect of health-care resources on health outcomes.

RESULTS:

Findings showed that there are strong reverse correlations between immunization rate and number of physicians with crude rate of death (− 2.64 [P< 001] and− 76.50 [P< 001], respectively). There were also positive …
