Abstract
Although outcomes account for 45% of the total ranking score in otolaryngology in the 2023-2024 U.S. News Best Hospitals rankings, little attention has been paid to the representativeness of their outcomes or volume analyses. Through retrospective review of finance data from an academic otolaryngology department, we found the overall 2023-2024 USNWR volume estimate accounted for only 10.0% (n = 2, usw 024/20,334) of all adult admissions and outpatient procedures and did not adequately represent the overall case mix or caseload.
