Endovascular aneurysm repair versus open repair in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (EVAR trial 1): randomised controlled trial
TL;DR: Compared with open repair, EVAR offers no advantage with respect to all-cause mortality and HRQL, is more expensive, and leads to a greater number of complications and reinterventions, however, it does result in a 3% better aneurysm-related survival.

The Proper Scope of Government: Theory and an Application to Prisons
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a model in which the provider can invest in improving the quality of service or reducing cost, and applied it to understand the costs and benefits of prison privatization, and found that if contracts are incomplete, the private provider has a stronger incentive to engage in both quality improvement and cost reduction than a government employee.
