What underlies the observed hospital volume-outcome relationship?

Table 3 Results of the predictions based on parameter estimates of the full model

	Predicted patient outcome for all stages			Predicted first-line treatment for advanced stages disease
	CC-1 or CC-2	CC-0	Rate of CC-0	PDS	NACT	Rate of NACT
Scenario 1: Decentralized	133	170	56.1%	125	72	36.5%
Scenario 2: Network formation	108	195	64.4%	86	111	56.3%
Scenario 3: Centralization	86	217	71.6%	86	111	56.3%

Note: Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NACT); Primary Debulking Surgery (PDS); Complete tumor resection (CC-0); Incomplete tumor resection (CC-1 or CC-2). First-line treatment is predicted only for advanced-stage patients, as primary surgery is the only treatment option for early stage
