High-risk patients account for 80% of post-surgery deaths
High-risk patients account for 80% of post-surgery deaths is drawing significant interest across the industry.
A major new study, led by Queen Mary University of London has been published in The Lancet Public Health. It found that out of the five million surgical procedures performed each year by the NHS, around 300,000 are carried out on individuals considered high-risk, and within 90 days of surgery, these high-risk patients account for four out of five deaths, over half of all hospital bed days and nearly one-third of emergency readmissions.
Experts suggest this could influence future trends and innovation in the sector.
More updates are expected as the story develops.
