Older surgeons' patients don't die more
|
|
It has been suggested that a surgeon's age is a negative factor in mortality
rates. To measure this, death rates were compared to surgeon age in 461,000
procedures. Surgeons were divided into four groups, the youngest ≤40 years and
the eldest > 60 years. Older surgeons indeed had higher mortality rates in
certain procedures but a closer look showed that these were more complicated
operations and that they had performed fewer such procedures in their careers.
Death rates for youngest surgeons were the same as for those aged 41-50 years.
Increased surgeon age was not seen to increase risk of death following surgical
procedures.
