As compared to patients admitted to higher volume hospitals doing three or more lung cancer surgery procedures a month, patients admitted to lower volume hospitals had a significantly lower likelihood of having a one-day stay; although differences in long LOS between lowest volume hospitals (14.1% of sample patients) and highest volume hospitals were not quite significant, the 26.1% of patients admitted to hospitals with 1-3 procedures a month had 1.75 times the likelihood of stays 10 days or greater.
