摘要: Background Volume-infection relationships have been examined for high-risk surgical procedures, but the conclusions remain controversial. The inconsistency might be due to inaccurate identification of cases infection and different methods categorizing service volumes. This study takes coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) site infections (SSIs) as an example examine whether a relationship exists between operation volumes SSIs, when SSIs case identification, definitions categorization were implemented.
