“…Most CABG cost studies are single institutional and, with the exception of the work of Denton, Luevanos, and Matloff, 7 have focused primarily on clinical predictors. They have demonstrated limited ability to predict cost (R 2 = 0.22-0.29), 13,33,34 as did the only multi-institutional study by Cowper and associates 1 (R 2 = 0.25). The relationship of cost, hospital size, and case volume has not been analyzed in a modern, multi-institutional study encompassing both Medicare and non-Medicare patients.…”

Within the range of hospital size and case volume represented in this study, there is no evidence that either variable is related to the cost of performing coronary bypass surgery. Massachusetts hospitals appear to function on different segments of different average cost curves. It is not possible to predict the relative cost of coronary bypass grafting at a given hospital based primarily on volume.

“…Only then will it be possible to As in most other studies of CABG costs, the ability of our multivariable model to explain variability in cost (R 2 ) was limited. 1,13,26,[32][33][34] This suggests that other variables not in the model influence cost or that the relationships are nonlinear.…”
