Background The mechanisms that underlie the association between high surgical volume and improved outcomes remain uncertain. This study examined the impact of complications and failure to rescue patients from these complications on mortality following hepatic resection. Methods The Nationwide Inpatient Sample was used to identify patients who had liver surgery between 2000 and 2010. Hospital volume was stratified into tertiles (low, intermediate and high). Rates of major complications, failure to rescue and mortality following hepatic surgery were compared. Results Some 9874 patients were identified. The major complication rate was 19·6 per cent in low-volume, 19·3 per cent in intermediate-volume and 16·6 per cent in high-volume hospitals (P?
