The articles identified in the literature search were grouped by condition, and predetermined criteria were applied to choose the best article for each condition. Mortality was significantly lower at HVHs for elective abdominal aortic aneu rysm repair, carotid endarterectomy, lower extremity arterial bypass surgery, coronary artery bypass surgery, coronary angioplasty, heart transplantation, pediatric cardiac surgery, pancreatic cancer surgery, esophageal cancer surgery, cerebral aneurysm s urgery, and treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Initiatives to facilitate referral of patients to HVHs have the potential to reduce overall hospital mortality in California for the conditions identif ied. Additional study is needed to determine the extent to which selective referral is feasible and to examine the potential consequences of such initiatives. |
