Effect of surgeon sleep loss on patient outcomes
Editor's Note
The risk of adverse outcomes in patients having elective daytime surgical procedures was similar whether the surgeon performed surgery the night before or not, this study finds.
There were no significant differences in patient mortality, readmission, or complications when surgeons worked after midnight, compared to when surgeons did not work (22.2% vs 22.4%).
A total of nearly 39,000 patients treated by 1,448 surgeons were included in this Canadian study.
