Preventable mortality after common urological surgery: failing to rescue?

Sammon JD, Pucheril D, Abdollah F, et al. BJU Int. 2014 Aug 19; [Epub ahead of print].

This analysis of national hospital data found that while odds of overall mortality from urological surgery decreased, failure to rescue increased over time, with lower-income, older aged, and ethnic minority patients as predictors for higher risk. This work emphasizes the need to examine disparities in patient safety outcomes.
