Epidural Analgesia Utilization Rate for Hepatic and Pancreatic Surgery, That Low?

I read with interest the article "a nationwide analysis of the use and outcomes of perioperative epidural analgesia in patients undergoing hepatic and pancreatic surgery" .1 I congratulate the authors for this important analysis and their publication in your esteemed journal; however, I have few concerns about this study I would like the authors to address. The first concern is the low post-operative epidural analgesia (EA) utilization rate (7.4%) reported in this study for the selected surgical procedures.
