High-volume hospital status is linked to lower in-hospital mortality and reduced 30-day nonelective readmission risk after tricuspid valve surgery, despite higher costs.
Does surgery at a high-volume hospital improve outcomes in patients undergoing tricuspid valve surgery?
Tricuspid valve surgery at high-volume hospitals is associated with improved survival and lower readmission rates compared to low-volume centers, highlighting a volume-outcome relationship.

HVH status was associated with lower odds of in-hospital mortality and reduced risk of 30-day nonelective readmission, but greater hospitalization costs. Increased outreach and resource availability at low-volume centers may help alleviate this disparity and enhance the overall value of care in tricuspid valve surgery.
