Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the severe complications and mortality rates associated with general surgeons during their early years of independent practice compared to those with more experience.
- Using Medicare data, the investigation covered over 1.3 million operations and indicated that first-year surgeons had higher risks of patient mortality (5.5%) and severe complications (7.5%) compared to those with 15 years of experience, who had lower respective rates of 4.7% and 6.9%.
- The results suggest that newly graduated surgeons face significantly higher risks of adverse patient outcomes across various operations, highlighting the importance of experience in reducing these risks.
