ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of our retrospective study was to assess whether a novel team Familiarity Score (FS) is associated with the length of procedure (LOP), postoperative length of stay (LOS), and complication rate after vascular procedures.METHODS:
We retrospectively analyzed 326 vascular procedures performed at a tertiary care vascular surgery center between April 2012 and September 2014. Data collected included patients' age, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, LOP, type and urgency of procedure, LOS, and complications. Familiarity Score (FS) was defined as the sum of the number of times that each possible pair of the team (vascular consultant, vascular registrar, scrub nurse, anesthetic consultant) within the team had worked together during the previous 6 months, divided by the number of possible combinations of pairs in the team. Bayesian statistics was used to analyze the data.RESULTS:
FS was significantly associated with type and urgency of the procedure (Bayes factor [BF] >1000). Emergency procedures were performed by less familiar teams, and the least familiar teams were involved in the emergency aortic procedures-endovascular and open. FS was strongly associated with LOP (BF = 37) but not with LOS (BF = 4.0) and complication rate.CONCLUSIONS:
FS in vascular teams was shown to be strongly associated with LOP, suggesting that more familiar teams might collaborate more efficiently.Palabras clave
