Association of low-value operative management with mortality, length of stay and complications
In this retrospective cohort study, potentially low-value operative management of SOI was infrequent but was associated with increased mortality, complications, and LOS and was influenced by sex, race and ethnicity and insurance status. Results suggest that interventions designed to reduce low-value operative management may improve patient outcomes.
