Operative trauma volume is not related to risk-adjusted mortality rates among Pennsylvania trauma centers
CONCLUSION
In a mature trauma system, we found no association between center-level operative volume and mortality for patients who required early operative intervention for trauma. Efforts to standardize the care of seriously injured patients in Pennsylvania may ensure that even lower-volume centers are prepared to generate satisfactory outcomes.
