Relationship between hospital volume and major cardiac complications of rotational atherectomy: A nationwide retrospective cohort study in Japan

Abstract

This study showed that higher hospital volume was significantly associated with lower complication rates of RA. Our results also suggested that the major complication rates were low even in low-volume hospitals.

Outcomes of Peripheral Endovascular Interventions Based on Hospital Volume: a Mini Review of Published Literature

“…Isogai T et al, in their study involving 10,000 patients reported that higher hospital volume was significantly associated with lower complication rates of rotational atherectomy [12]. Our analysis from a larger inpatient database proved that all the outcomes were significantly better if a patient with PAD underwent endovascular interventions at a high volume center.…”

Factors affecting in-hospital mortality and likelihood of undergoing surgical resection in patients with primary cardiac tumors

“…This was a nationwide retrospective cohort study using the Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) database, which has been described in detail previously [29,30]. The Institutional Review Board of The University of Tokyo approved the study and waived the requirement for patient informed consent because all data were anonymized.…”

“…The Institutional Review Board of The University of Tokyo approved the study and waived the requirement for patient informed consent because all data were anonymized. The DPC database included approximately 18.3 million inpatient data from approximately 1000 Japanese hospitals for 33 consecutive months between 1 July 2010 and 31 March 2013, representing approximately 50% of all inpatient admissions in Japan [29,30].…”
