Abstract
Although a greater proportion of pancreatic or esophageal resections were performed at hospitals meeting a given EBHR volume metric in the 7 years after Leapfrog, this shift had a negligible impact on outcomes across Washington State. It remains to be determined why regionalization for AAA repair has not occurred and why regionalization trends in pancreatic and esophageal surgery have not had the intended impact of improving overall safety outcomes.
