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.
“…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.…”

“…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].…”
“…Our results are in congruence with a previously published meta-analysis 13 of 42 studies and study reported from nationwide sample from Japan for rotational atherectomy. 14…”
Hospital procedure volume is an independent predictor of mortality, amputation rates, complications, LOS, and costs in patients undergoing PPA with an inverse relationship.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
