Association between surgical volumes and hospital mortality in patients: A living donor liver transplantation single center experience
BMC Gastroenterology May 28, 2021
Hsieh CE, Hsu YL, Lin KH, et al. - This study was carried out to evaluate the relationship between surgical volumes and hospital mortality in patients. Between October 2005 and June 2019, researchers conducted retrospective research in a single center including a total of 463 living donor LT patients. Individuals were classified into no-hospital mortality (HM) group (n = 433, 93.52%) and an HM group (n = 30, 6.48%). Logistic regression analysis was used to ascertain how clinical features and surgical volume affected HM. It was shown that donor age, blood loss, and an annual surgical volume < 30 LTs were significant pre- and perioperative risk factors. The results showed that the hospital mortality and annual surgical volume were correlated with statistically significant differences; surgical volume may impact the quality of care and transplant outcomes.
