Relationship Between Provider Volume and Mortality for Carotid Endarterectomies in New York State
Stroke 29:2292-2297, Hannan,E.L.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed
Article Abstract
We conclude that the in-hospital mortality rates for carotid endarterectomies performed by surgeons with extremely low annual volumes (<5) and for hospitals with low volumes (=) are significantly higher than the in-hospital rates of higher-volume surgeons and hospitals, even after taking preprocedural patient severity of illness into account.
