Key result
High hospital caseloads for complex treatments or high-risk surgical procedures are strongly associated with lower mortality rates and better outcomes compared to low-volume institutions.

High hospital caseloads are strongly associated with lower mortality and better outcomes for complex and high-risk procedures.
Kenneth W. Kizer (2003) conducted an editorial in Complex treatments or high-risk surgical procedures. High hospital caseload/volume vs. Low hospital caseload/volume was evaluated on Mortality rates and other outcomes. High hospital caseloads for complex treatments or high-risk surgical procedures are strongly associated with lower mortality rates and better outcomes compared to low-volume institutions.
