Impact of consolidation of cases on post-operative outcomes for index pediatric surgery cases.
The effect of the consolidation of neonatal pediatric surgical cases to limited surgeons within a hospital is unknown. In this retrospective cohort study, the authors elected to model the distribution of complex neonatal procedures using an economic measure of market concentration, the Herfindahl-Hirschmann Index (HHI), and study its effect on outcomes of index pediatric surgical operations.
