| Abstract | BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Procedures requiring specific skill sets often have been shown to depend on institutional volume, that is, centers receiving a higher volume observe better outcomes in those patients. This relationship recently has been shown to exist for subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH) patients in a large study in the United States. We aim to examine this relationship for SAH patients in England, restricting analysis to specialist neurosurgical units. METHODS: Aggregate counts of patients with SAH in 25 specialist neuroscience centers in England, from 2005 to 2011, were obtained from the Hospital Episode Statistics database maintained by the National Health Service Information Center. These data were linked with national mortality statistics to obtain counts of deaths. Poisson regression was used to investigate the relationship between institutional caseload of SAH and 6-month mortality from any cause. Six-month mortality rates and mortality ratios were computed. RESULTS: Annual institutional caseload of admissions with SAH was inversely related to 6-month mortality (P=0.009; r(2)=0.26). Each 100-patient increase in annual patient volume was associated with a 24% reduction in mortality (adjusted mortality ratio, 0.76; confidence interval, 0.67-0.87). This relationship was consistent across the entire range of annual institutional caseloads examined (29-367 cases for the lowest and highest volumes seen in a single center in 1 year). CONCLUSIONS: Our results provide support for management of SAH at high-volume centers and suggest that health care policy in this setting should pursue regionalization while ensuring an adequate geographic spread of access to care. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
