The Japanese Board of General Thoracic Surgery and the annual survey by the Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery (JATS) of certified hospitals began in 2005; since then, over 1300 specialists and 650 hospitals have been certified by this system. To evaluate how this system contributes to improving the outcomes of general thoracic surgery, the effects of the number of certified general thoracic surgeons (GTSs) and hospital volume on 30-day mortality or hospital mortality were evaluated.
