Key result
A review of quality metrics in coronary artery bypass grafting highlights their importance in improving outcomes, though their definitions and significance to providers remain uncertain.
Why the study?
Although adherence to quality measures improves CABG outcomes, quality metrics are not well-defined and their significance to surgeons and healthcare providers remains uncertain.

CABG quality metrics warrant clearer definitions before routine adoption; leaves open their optimal selection and provider relevance.
Studies on the association between care quality, case volume, and outcomes in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have concluded that consistent adherence to quality measures improves mortality rates and outcomes. However, the quality metrics are not well-defined, and their significance to surgeons and healthcare providers remains uncertain. We review the concept of "quality and quality metrics" and discuss their importance in the context of CABG.
