Statistics and Outcomes

Seattle Children’s Hospital’s Statistics and Outcomes

Seattle Children’s provides statistics such as volumes (the number of surgeries performed or patients seen) and outcomes (results of treatment given to patients) to help you make better decisions about your child’s care.

We also gather data on how well the treatments we provide work so we can identify ways to improve. We share our data with organizations that manage national databases so that our results can be compared to other hospitals’ results.

Consistently ranked one of the nation’s best children’s hospitals by US News and World Report

We are proud to have outcomes that are consistently among the best in the nation. In 2024, U.S. News & World Report again named Seattle Children’s among the top 10 best children’s hospitals in the U.S. and the best in the Pacific Northwest.

U.S. News & World Report has recognized Seattle Children’s as a top children’s hospital every year since it began ranking medical centers more than 30 years ago. This means that your child will be cared for by the very best.
