Abstract
Background and Purpose After a craniotomy for cerebral aneurysm, postoperative mortality can be significant. Previous studies have shown that hospitals performing frequent high-risk procedures (such as coronary artery bypass) have a lower mortality than hospitals where these procedures are performed infrequently.Keywords
