Procedures requiring specific skill sets often have been shown to depend on institutional volume, that is, centers receiving a higher volume observe better outcomes in those patients. This relationship recently has been shown to exist for subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH) patients in a large study in the United States. We aim to examine this relationship for SAH patients in England, restricting analysis to specialist neurosurgical units.
