Indigenous Peoples across North America and Oceania experience worse health outcomes compared to non-Indigenous people, including increased post-operative mortality.

The aim of this study is to evaluate disparities in post-operative outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations.

Little is known about the prevalence or efficacy of subsequent interventions implemented in under-resourced countries to increase timely access to Bellwether surgical procedures.
Methods: A systematic review of articles and grey literature published in MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases was conducted.
