Group PhotoDr. Khan’s study was one of the largest, nationally representative samples with over 18,000 patients investigating the association between hospital volume and mortality risk in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms. The results demonstrated that low facility-level volume adversely affects outcomes following ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms. Dr. Khan concluded the presentation by highlighting the importance of equipping low volume centers with resources to manage these complex cases and increasing opportunities for care coordination between high and low volume centers.
