All analyses focused on five specific endpoints: intraoperative complications, postoperative complications, blood transfusions, prolonged hospitalization, and in-hospital mortality. First, multivariable logistic regression models for prediction of the aforementioned endpoints were fitted among high-volume hospitals treated patients.

Differences between observed and predicted adverse outcome rates were all in favor of high-volume hospitals, except for in-hospital mortality. Potentially avoidable intraoperative complications, postoperative complications, blood transfusions, prolonged hospitalization, and in-hospital mortality rates were 1.4, 5.6, 7.6, 24.0, and 0.7 %, respectively.
