Key result
Undergoing CABG surgery at a hospital 1 SD below average performance was associated with higher odds of in-hospital mortality compared to a hospital 1 SD above average (OR 2.06; 95% CI 1.40-3.04).

Hospital performance variation was associated with CABG mortality; hypothesis-generating for quality initiatives without supporting practice changes.
Observational (n=8,739)
Yes
Odds Ratio: 2.06 (95% CI 1.4–3.04)
In-hospital mortality and complication rates after CABG in China are generally low but exhibit significant hospital-level and regional variation, highlighting opportunities for quality improvement.
Hu et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Isolated CABG surgery (n=8,739). CABG surgery at a hospital 1 SD below average performance vs. CABG surgery at a hospital 1 SD above average performance was evaluated on In-hospital all-cause mortality (OR 2.06, 95% CI 1.40-3.04). Undergoing CABG surgery at a hospital 1 SD below average performance was associated with higher odds of in-hospital mortality compared to a hospital 1 SD above average (OR 2.06; 95% CI 1.40-3.04).
