Effect of hospital volume and teaching status on outcomes of acute liver failure
Ashwin N. Ananthakrishnan, Emily L. McGinley, Kia Saeian – 28 August 2008 – Acute liver failure (ALF) often requires multidisciplinary support. Higher hospital volumes have been associated with better outcomes for surgical procedures, but whether such a relationship exists for ALF has not been explored previously. In this study, our aim was to examine if hospital volume affects mortality from ALF.
