BackgroundData on the impact of hospital volume and travel distance on patient outcomes after major abdominal surgery remain poorly defined. We sought to characterize the relationship of travel distance, hospital volume, and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing surgical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).MethodsThe 2004-2015 National Cancer Database was used to identify patients who underwent resection of HCC. Patients were stratified according to travel distance and hospital volume quartiles, and multivariable regression models were utilized to examine the impact of travel distance, hospital volume, and travel distance/hospital volume on overall survival (OS).ResultsAmong the 12,266 patients identified, procedures included wedge/segmental resections (N=7354, 59.9%), hemi-hepatectomy (N=4003, 32.6%), and extended hepatectomy (N=909, 7.5%). Stratifying data into quartiles, travel distance to surgical care was 5.7miles (mi), >5.7-14.2mi, >14.2-44.4mi, and 44.4mi, while hospital volume quartiles determined on the hospital level were 1 case per year, 1.1-4, 4.1-12.5, and 12.5. On multivariable analysis, increased hospital volume was associated with decreased hazard of mortality (HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.45-0.82, p
