"NHS death rate is one of worst in the West," says the Daily Mail, while The Times front page warns of "Alarm over 'high' death rate in English hospitals".
This story was covered by most UK news outlets, including The Daily Telegraph, which reports that NHS patients are 45% more likely to die than patients in the US.
