Impact of hospital teaching status on survival from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm repairRobert A Meguid
Division of Vascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA
J Vasc Surg 50:243-50. 2009..We investigated whether mortality outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) were different between teaching hospitals and non-teaching hospitals, independent of hospital operative volume...
Is there a difference in survival between right- versus left-sided colon cancers?Robert A Meguid
Department of Surgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21287, USA
Ann Surg Oncol 15:2388-94. 2008..It is unclear whether patient prognosis varies by tumor location. In this study, we have compared the survival of right-and left-sided colon cancers in a longitudinal population-based database...
The effect of volume on esophageal cancer resections: what constitutes acceptable resection volumes for centers of excellence?Robert A Meguid
Division of Thoracic Surgery, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21287, USA
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 137:23-9. 2009..We aim to determine if an objective evidence-based threshold of operative volume associated with improvement in operative outcome for esophageal resections can be defined...
Human immunodeficiency virus infection as a prognostic factor in surgical patients with non-small cell lung cancerCraig M Hooker
Department of Oncology, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland 21287, USA
Ann Thorac Surg 93:405-12. 2012..The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on postoperative survival among non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients...
The impact of center volume on survival in lung transplantation: an analysis of more than 10,000 casesEric S Weiss
Division of Cardiac Surgery, Department of Surgery, The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Baltimore, Maryland 21287, USA
Ann Thorac Surg 88:1062-70. 2009..Whether center volume influences outcomes in lung transplantation is unknown. We reviewed United Network for Organ Sharing data to examine the effect of center volume on short-term mortality...
Long-term survival outcomes by smoking status in surgical and nonsurgical patients with non-small cell lung cancer: comparing never smokers and current smokersRobert A Meguid
Division of Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA
Chest 138:500-9. 2010..Survival outcomes of never smokers with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who undergo surgery are poorly characterized. This investigation compared surgical outcomes of never and current smokers with NSCLC...
Improving surgical outcomes through adoption of evidence-based process measures: intervention specific or associated with overall hospital quality?Benjamin S Brooke
Department of Surgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA
Surgery 147:481-90. 2010....
Recurrence after neoadjuvant chemoradiation and surgery for esophageal cancer: does the pattern of recurrence differ for patients with complete response and those with partial or no response?Robert A Meguid
Division of Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21287, USA
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 138:1309-17. 2009..We hypothesized that most relapses in patients with esophageal cancer having neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy would occur outside of the surgical and radiation fields...
What constitutes a "high-volume" hospital for pancreatic resection?Robert A Meguid
Department of Surgery, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21287, USA
J Am Coll Surg 206:622.e1-9. 2008..This study aimed to define an objective, evidence-based operative volume threshold associated with improved postoperative outcomes after pancreatic resection...
Are surgical outcomes for lung cancer resections improved at teaching hospitals?Robert A Meguid
Division of Thoracic Surgery, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland 21287, USA
Ann Thorac Surg 85:1015-24; discussion 1024-5. 2008..We postulate that short-term outcome after lung cancer resection is better at teaching hospitals (TH) compared with nonteaching hospitals (non-TH), independent of volume...
Increased mortality at low-volume orthotopic heart transplantation centers: should current standards change?Eric S Weiss
Department of Surgery, Division of Cardiac Surgery, The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Baltimore, Maryland 21287 4618, USA
Ann Thorac Surg 86:1250-9; discussion 1259-60. 2008..We sought to determine whether this cutoff is meaningful and establish recommendations for optimal center volume using the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) registry...
