Summary

High-volume hospitals in Germany showed lower 1-year mortality rates for pancreatic surgery patients. This volume-outcome relationship highlights the importance of center expertise for surgical success and patient survival.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical outcomes research
  • Health services research
  • Public health

Background:

  • Volume-outcome relationships are crucial in major surgery.
  • Discharge data alone may not fully capture surgical outcomes.
  • Considering transfers and later events provides a more complete picture.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the volume-outcome relationship in pancreatic surgery.
  • To analyze the impact of hospital volume on patient mortality.
  • To evaluate outcomes beyond initial discharge.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized German claims data (2008-2010) for pancreatic surgery patients.
  • Employed logistic regression models with random effects.
  • Analyzed 1-year, 90-day, and in-hospital mortality based on hospital volume quintiles, adjusting for patient factors.

Main Results:

  • Significantly higher 1-year mortality in lower-volume centers compared to the highest-volume quintile.
  • Similar, though less pronounced, effects observed for in-hospital and 90-day mortality.
  • The impact of hospital volume on 1-year mortality was comparable to that of comorbidities like renal failure.

Conclusions:

  • Pancreatic surgery mortality is multifactorial.
  • Higher volume centers in Germany demonstrated reduced 1-year mortality.
  • This underscores the importance of hospital volume in pancreatic surgery outcomes.
