Physician Peer Influence on Salpingectomy Uptake for Tubal Sterilization and Ovarian Cancer Prevention
In this retrospective cohort study of postpartum and interval sterilizations, surgeons who previously shared patients with other physicians with high rates of opportunistic salpingectomy use were more likely to adopt opportunistic salpingectomy in their own subsequent practice. These results suggest physician peer influence in salpingectomy uptake.
