Operative mortality for HVHs and LVHs were 4% and 9%, respectively. This did not reach statistical significance (P = .09). Likewise, there was no statistical difference in the 30-day, 1-year, 3-year, or 5-year survival figures between the 2 groups. The authors conclude that hospital volume does not affect long-term survival.
