Higher Hospital Volume is Associated with Lower Mortality for Patients with Cardiogenic Shock and Mechanical Circulatory Support
Care for patients with CS treated with and without MCS is associated with lower in-hospital mortality in hospitals that manage high volumes of CS and MCS. This analysis indicates that centralization of CS care in specialized centres treating high volumes of patients with CS and MCS might improve outcomes.
