Abstract
The current environment of health care reform in the United States calls for increasing physician and hospital accountability and transparency of health care outcomes.1 Surgical outcomes are usually assessed by mortality because it is an unambiguous outcome. For operations associated with low mortality, identifying outcomes that reflect the quality of care is challenging.2-4Keywords
