We then dug into the concordance question. We found that concordance improved outcomes for female patients (~0.2% absolute difference) but worsened them for men. When looking at the same mortality endpoint in our Ontario study (https://t.co/LZ6kn3VBvs), we see similar effects. https://t.co/mQy94fWiCR

Mashup Score: 9Comparison of postoperative outcomes among patients treated by male and female surgeons: a population based matched cohort study - 6 month(s) ago
Objective To examine the effect of surgeon sex on postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing common surgical procedures. Design Population based, retrospective, matched cohort study from 2007 to 2015. Setting Population based cohort of all patients treated in Ontario, Canada. Participants Patients undergoing one of 25 surgical procedures performed by a female surgeon were matched by patient age, patient sex, comorbidity, surgeon volume, surgeon age, and hospital to patients undergoing the same operation by a male surgeon. Interventions Sex of treating surgeon. Main outcome measure The primary outcome was a composite of death, readmission, and complications. We compared outcomes between groups using generalised estimating equations. Results 104 630 patients were treated by 3314 surgeons, 774 female and 2540 male. Before matching, patients treated by female doctors were more likely to be female and younger but had similar comorbidity, income, rurality, and year of surgery. Afte

Dr. Arghavan Salles and Dr. Chris Wallis discuss their recent article in JAMA Surgery demonstrating better surgical outcomes with women as surgeons compared to male surgeons. Dr. Osaid Alser also gives us an update on the situation in Gaza Hospitals.

Mashup Score: 40Association between patient-surgeon gender concordance and mortality after surgery in the United States: retrospective observational study - 6 month(s) ago
Objective To determine whether patient-surgeon gender concordance is associated with mortality of patients after surgery in the United States. Design Retrospective observational study. Setting Acute care hospitals in the US. Participants 100% of Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries aged 65-99 years who had one of 14 major elective or non-elective (emergent or urgent) surgeries in 2016-19. Main outcome measures Mortality after surgery, defined as death within 30 days of the operation. Adjustments were made for patient and surgeon characteristics and hospital fixed effects (effectively comparing patients within the same hospital). Results Among 2 902 756 patients who had surgery, 1 287 845 (44.4%) had operations done by surgeons of the same gender (1 201 712 (41.4%) male patient and male surgeon, 86 133 (3.0%) female patient and female surgeon) and 1 614 911 (55.6%) were by surgeons of different gender (52 944 (1.8%) male patient and female surgeon, 1 561 967 (53.8%) female patient and

In this paper, published today, we look not at patient outcomes, but health care costs. This is important when considering the health system implications of a changing surgical workforce. https://t.co/h2O5CJpNly
