ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Patient demographics and outcomes may influence patient satisfaction. We aim to investigate the relationship between postoperative complications and survey-based satisfaction in the context of payer status.METHODS:
Institutional data were used to identify major complication occurrence and linked to patient satisfaction surveys. The impact of complication occurrence on satisfaction was investigated and stratified by payer status.RESULTS:
In all, 1,597 encounters were identified with an 18% major complication rate. Satisfaction scores in specific domains were significantly more likely to be above the median for patients without complications (P < .01) and for payer status Medicaid/low income (P < .05). In sensitivity analyses, we found no significant interactions among payer status, complications, and satisfaction scores.CONCLUSIONS:
Significant differences exist for individual satisfaction survey domains between patients with and without major postoperative complications and by payer status. Payer status was not found to have an impact on the intersection of major complications and patient satisfaction.Palavras-chave
