Population

Children 0-2 years old undergoing inpatient and outpatient operative procedures between January and June 2001 at hospitals or hospital-affiliated outpatient surgery centers in Iowa.

Intervention

Use of discharge abstract databases to quantify surgical practice

Outcome

Differentiation among facilities based on types and physiological complexity of procedures

Statewide discharge abstract data can effectively quantify differences in surgical practice complexity and diversity among pediatric and nonpediatric hospitals.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Statewide discharge data distinguish procedural complexity across hospital types; extends volume metrics to include diversity and physiologic risk.
