This study used data from the Australia and New Zealand Audit of Surgical Mortality from the last 10 years from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2018 for analysis. Operative decision was a common reason for surgical mortality. A multidisciplinary approach coupled with a validated risk stratification tool could reduce these deaths.
