Tracking Residents' Surgical Outcomes Using Data from the Quality In-Training Initiative.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Monitoring resident trainees' patient outcomes is essential to improving surgical performance; however, resident-specific follow-up is rarely provided in the current surgical training environment. Whether there is a correlation between individual resident's surgical performance and patients' clinical outcomes remains undefined. In this study, we aimed to use risk-adjusted patient outcomes as an educational tool to track individual surgical trainee performance.

Study design

American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) appendectomy and partial colectomy operations (2013-2021) were examined. Residents performing ≥25 operations were included. The primary outcome was ACS NSQIP-defined morbidity adjusted using estimated probabil
