Objective: This study aims to use the Dr Foster Global Comparators Network (GC) database to examine differences in outcomes following high-risk emergency general surgery (EGS) admissions in participating centres across 3 countries and to determine whether hospital infrastructure factors can be linked to the delivery of high-quality care. Design: A retrospective cohort analysis of high-risk EGS admissions using GC's international administrative data set. Setting: 23 large hospitals in Australia, England and the USA. Methods: Discharge data for a cohort of high-risk EGS patients were collated. Multilevel hierarchical logistic regression analysis was performed to examine geographical and structural differences between GC hospitals. Results: 69...
