The association between annual hospital volume and turnaround times (time on the emergency ward, surgery\u2009&lt;\u200948\u00a0h and length of stay), orthogeriatric co-treatment and case-mix adjusted in-hospital and 30\u00a0days mortality was evaluated with generalized linear mixed models with random effects for hospital and treatment year. We used a fifth-degree polynomial to allow for nonlinear effects of hospital volume. P-values were adjusted for multiple comparisons using the Bonferoni method.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In total, 43,258 patients from 68 hospitals were included. The median annual hospital volume was 202 patients [range 1\u2013546]. Baseline characteristics did not differ with hospital volume. Provision of orthogeriatric co-treatment improved with higher volumes but decreased at\u2009&gt;\u2009367 patients per year (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01).

Mortality and turnaround times showed no clinically relevant association with hospital volume. The provision of orthogeriatric co-treatment, however, increased with increasing volumes up to 367 patients per year, but decreased above this threshold. Future research on the effect of volume on complications and functional outcomes is indicated.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00068-022-02205-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,21]],"date-time":"2023-01-21T04:43:19Z","timestamp":1674276199000},"page":"1525-1534","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Is hospital volume related to quality of hip fracture care?
