2 Figure 1 Regionalization rate. The proportion of patients undergoing each procedure at evidence-based hospital referral (EBHR) hospitals by study year. The p value was obtained from a nonparametric test for trend. *2001 was the first year of the post-Leapfrog (LF) era for esophageal resection and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. †2004 was the first year of the post-LF era for pancreatic resection.
