Surgeon work captured by the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program across specialties.
The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database is increasingly used for surgical research. However, it is unclear how well this database represents the breadth of work performed by different specialties. Using the 2017 NSQIP participant use file and the 2017 Medicare Physician/Supplier Procedure Summary file, the investigators evaluated (1) what proportion of surgical work was captured by NSQIP, (2) what procedures and disciplines were undersampled, and (3) the overall concordance between the NSQIP sample and a national sample.
