Participation in the Vascular Quality Initiative is associated with improved perioperative medication use, which is associated with longer patient survival.
The researchers analyzed the effect of Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) participation on perioperative (preoperative and postoperative) medical management (MM) use over time and the effect of discharge MM on patient survival. They demonstrated that MM is associated with improved survival after a number of vascular procedures, and that VQI participation improves the use of MM, demonstrating that involvement in an organized quality effort can affect patient outcomes.
