Not Only Caseload but Also Patient Selection Is Predictive of Mortality After Pancreatic Resection
HVPCs have significantly lower inhospital mortality than the other hospitals. Nevertheless, the superior quality of outcome can be attributed not only to the enhanced expertise of the centers but also, at least in part, to a healthier patient population on average. However, the extent to which this patient selection is due to active selection by the practitioners or other causes remains unclear.
