3 Victorian Admitted Episodes Database - VAED

4 Postoperative mortality rate - VAED

5 Number of audited deaths Mean age (range) Median age n=6, years (0 day to 104 years) 79 years Gender (Male: Female) 55%: 45% Admission status (Emergency: Elective) 84%: 15% ASA grades ASA 1-2: 8% ASA 3: 27% ASA 4: 45% ASA 5-6: 15% Risk of death prior to surgery Expected: 13% Considerable: 50% Moderate: 25% Small: 9% Minimal: 3% Most common comorbid factors Cardiovascular: 23% Age: 19% Respiratory: 13% Renal: 10% Neurological/Psychiatric: 7% Diabetes: 6% Advanced Malignancy: 5% Obesity: 3% Hepatic: 3% Most common surgical diagnoses Fracture of neck of femur: 19% Carcinoma: 13% Intracranial haemorrhage: 11% Coronary artery disease: 7% Intestinal obstruction: 6% Aortic aneurysm: 5% Operative procedures performed 3: 9% 2: 16% 1: 75% 0: 16%

6 Thromboprophylaxis 6.6% inappropriately withheld

7 Critical care provision Only 8% would have benefited

8 Fluid management issues

9 Trends in clinical management issues over time

10 Top 5 management issues over time

11 Significance of clinical management issues Perceived impact on patient outcome Total occurrences Patients affected by (n=8431 in 6,179 cases) Clinical issues(n=6,179) No issues of management identified 3, (65.4%) Did not affect clinical outcome (7.9%) May have contributed to death 2, (20.2%) Probably contributed to death (5.1%) Missing data (1.3%) Total 6, (100%) Perceived preventability of clinical issues Total occurrences (n=8431 in 6,179 cases) Patients affected by Clinical issues(n=6,179) No issues identified 3, (65.4%) Definitely preventable (6.1%) Probably preventable 1, (12.9%) Probably not preventable 1, (11.8%) Definitely not preventable (1.6%) Missing data (2.2%) Total 6, (100%) 19% of patients had significant preventable issues, which contributed to the death in 5%

12 Preventable deaths in VASM VSCC question at the end is unique to VASM Assessment Type Preventable Non-Preventable Percentage First-Line Assessment 365 4, % Second-Line Assessment % TOTAL 896 5, %

13 Recurring issues in 6,212 operative VASM cohort (85%) Operative management issues Delays Recognition and management of the deteriorating patient Communication and shared care

14 1. Operative management issues No op should have been performed-futile surgery, end of life care A different op should have been performedseniority, choice by surgeon Technical issues in performance of surgery

15 Intraoperative issues FLA 2007-June 2016 Ops 6,212 Ops with CMI 2,171 Intraop Rx could be improved 708 No op should have been done 65 (9.2%)

16 Intraoperative issues FLA 2007-June 2016 Ops 6,212 Ops with CMI 2,171 Intraop Rx could be improved 708 Different op should have been done 138(19.5%)

17 Intraoperative issues FLA 2007-June 2016 Ops 6,212 Ops with CMI 2,171 Intraop Rx could be improved 708 Technical problem (haem, injury, leak) 117(16.5%)

18 2. Delays Delay in diagnosis 8 % Delay in starting treatment - 2%, surgeon, 3% FLA, 13% SLA Delay in transfer - 2%

19 Delay in 588/6,212(9.5%) of patients having an operation

20 Reasons for delay in diagnosis 2015 VASM report

21 Inter-hospital transfer issues 2015 VASM report

22 3. The deteriorating patient Failure to recognize Failure to react Junior staff education NB. Timing (out of hours) Location

23 4. Communication NB in the deteriorating patient-reluctance to contact superiors Inter-specialty referral should be timely and response should be rapid Documentation poor-poor or illegible data entry by clinicians, especially lack of consultant record entry

24 Conclusion VASM can identify factors contributing to surgical mortality Recurring themes must focus attention on prevention through better educational tools Continual expansion of the scope of ASM (anaesthetists, radiologists) and a shift in the role of this audit to better identify hospital outliers is a future goal that will be expected by our funder (DHHS)
