The causal effect of hospital volume on health gains from hip replacement surgery
Centre for Health Economics 20 August 2019

• This study investigates the causal effect of hospital volume on the health gains of patients receiving a primary planned hip replacement procedure in the English NHS in 2015/16. It sought to test for the presence of economies of scale in health outcomes and concludes that hospital volume does not have a causal impact on patient-reported health outcomes for planned hip replacement.
