Hospital Operative Volume Is an Essential Quality Indicator for General Surgery Operations Performed Emergently in Geriatric Patients


Within the growing geriatric population, there is an increasing need for emergency operations. Optimizing outcomes may require a structured system of surgical care based on key quality indicators. To investigate this, the present study sought to answer two questions. First, to what degree does hospital emergency operative volume impact mortality for geriatric patients undergoing emergency general surgery (EGS) operations? Second, at what procedure-specific hospital volume will geriatric patients undergoing an emergency operation achieve at or better than average mortality risk?
