Relationship between Annualized Case Volume and Mortality in Sepsis A Dose-Response Meta-analysis

摘要

Background: The relationship between annualized case volume and mortality in patients with sepsis is not fully understood. The authors performed a dose-response meta-analysis to assess the effect of annualized case volume on mortality among patients with sepsis in the intensive care unit, emergency department, or hospital, hypothesizing that higher annualized case volume may lead to lower mortality.
