This report highlights the significant volume of geriatric surgery performed in community hospitals, identifying it as a critical area for future outcomes research.
This article reports the pattern of surgical procedures, complications, and mortality found in NACOR, which is one of the few data sets that contains data from community hospitals and individuals with all types of insurance. Because the outcomes portion of the data set is under development, it is not possible to investigate the relationship between hospital type and complications or mortality, but this study underscores the magnitude of geriatric surgery that occurs in community hospitals as an area for future outcomes studies.
