Abstract
A correlation exists at provider and operator level in RAMRs for PCI and cardiac surgery procedures performed in New York State. Beyond patient's risk profile, that is the strongest predictor of early mortality after a cardiac procedure, hospitals and operators have a small but statistically significant contribution to variation in post-operative outcome.
