Analysis by Complexity

STAT category is the STS Risk Assessment Scale. Higher numbers are higher risk.

The table below follows the STS definitions for surgical complexity based on empirical data from the national data warehouse. References to the STS methodology and definitions may be found here. Operative mortality is defined as in hospital or 30 day mortality. Only operations with an STS STAT risk score of 1 or greater are included in the analysis. STAT is a risk stratification method used by the STS and is based on operation type only, with a higher STAT score indicating an operation with a greater risk of mortality. Minor operations are excluded from the data below.
