Abstract
In the late 1970s, Harold Luft, Ph.D., of the University of California at San Francisco, and his colleagues observed that hospitals performing 200 or more surgical procedures a year had 25% to 41% fewer patient deaths than hospitals performing fewer procedures. Their landmark study appeared in the Dec. 20, 1979, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.Keywords
