Abstract
Most benchmarks, especially “day of surgery” and “intraoperative” ones, can be delivered in more than 97% of patients. The delivery of benchmarks reduces perioperative morbidity but not mortality. Socioeconomic factors are predictors of overall morbidity. Operative mortality is related to the “quality of the patient” and the “quality of the health care provider.”
