Interinstitutional analysis of the outcome after surgery for type A aortic dissection.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the impact of individual institutions on the outcome after surgery for Stanford type A aortic dissection (TAAD).

Methods

This is an observational, multicenter, retrospective cohort study including 3902 patients who underwent surgery for TAAD at 18 university and non-university hospitals.

Results

Logistic regression showed that four hospitals had increased risk of in-hospital mortality, while two hospitals were associated with decreased risk of in-hospital mortality. Risk-adjusted in-hospital mortality rates were lower in four hospitals and higher in other four hospitals compared to the overall in-hospital mortality rate (17.7%). Participating hospitals were classified as overperforming or underperforming if their risk-adjusted in-hospital mortality
