Review Meta Analysis
Systematic review and meta-analysis of the relationship between hospital volume and outcome for lower limb arterial surgery.
: The aim was to investigate whether a relationship existed between case volume and outcome for lower limb vascular surgical procedures. ⋯ : Higher-volume hospitals were associated with reduced amputation and mortality rates after lower limb vascular surgery. These data were not as conclusive as those for other vascular surgical procedures owing to significant heterogeneity.
