<strong>KCE</strong> Reports 113 Volume Outcome 131<br />

6.1.4 Definition of <strong>volume</strong><br />

These 3 368 CEA/CAS procedures were distributed across 110 hospitals. The mean<br />

number of stays per hospital was 31. See Table 6.4. Two c<strong>en</strong>tres are outliers in terms of<br />

annual number of interv<strong>en</strong>tions i.e. they have more than 130 interv<strong>en</strong>tions per year.<br />

The pr<strong>op</strong>ortion of CAS is highly <strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong>d<strong>en</strong>t on the c<strong>en</strong>tre, and varies from 0 to 100%<br />

(Figure 6.2 ).<br />

The surgeon <strong>volume</strong> was available for CEA interv<strong>en</strong>tions only since there is no specific<br />

NIHDI co<strong>de</strong> for CAS. The average CEA <strong>volume</strong> per surgeon is 12 per year, performed<br />

by 236 surgeons.<br />

6.1.5 Definition of outcomes<br />

Hospital ID<br />

Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA) and Carotid st<strong>en</strong>ting (CAS) both require profici<strong>en</strong>cy<br />

since technical errors may lead to abrupt carotid occlusion with stroke or <strong>de</strong>ath as<br />

possible consequ<strong>en</strong>ces. Because CEA pati<strong>en</strong>ts oft<strong>en</strong> suffer from diffuse atheromatosis,<br />

they also have a higher risk to suffer an acute myocardial infarction in relation to<br />

g<strong>en</strong>eral anaesthesia.<br />

Information on AMI rate and CVA rate was retrieved from the MCD where the<br />

secondary diagnosis (as <strong>de</strong>fined in section 4.2.1, page 39) is <strong>en</strong>co<strong>de</strong>d with the following<br />

co<strong>de</strong>s:<br />

• AMI: ICD-9-CM co<strong>de</strong> 410 ‘Acute myocardial infarction’ but after<br />

exclusion of pati<strong>en</strong>ts with AMI as principal diagnosis;
