Is No difference a good outcome? Equity evaluation of the general surgery prioritization tool

This study shows that despite differences in the IOL and total scores across ethnicity, no evidence of difference was found in the odds of surgical booking based on patient ethnicity, age or gender.

Abstract

This study shows that despite differences in the IOL and total scores across ethnicity, no evidence of difference was found in the odds of surgical booking based on patient ethnicity, age or gender. Amendments to weighting of IOL scores and ethnicity score adjustment could be considered to remedy this.
