Outpatient gallbladder removal rate
| Dr. Tushla’s rate | < 1% |
| Predicted rate | 63% |
As a patient, you may prefer a doctor who has a higher rate of outpatient gallbladder removal to improve your odds of having an uncomplicated recovery after surgery.
Compared to predicted rates calculated for each doctor’s unique mix of cases and patients
-
Lower than our predicted rate
-
Higher than our predicted rate
-
Similar to our predicted rate
Hospitalizations are costly and associated with a higher risk of infections, so avoiding unnecessary hospital stays can save money and improve your odds of having an uncomplicated recovery after surgery. Gallbladder removals are commonly performed in an outpatient setting, avoiding hospitalizations altogether.
To help you understand how Dr. Tushla’s rate of outpatient gallbladder removal compares to a typical doctor who performs gallbladder removals:
- We first measure how many of Dr. Tushla’s gallbladder removals were performed in an outpatient setting.
- We then analyze the typical practices of all other doctors in the United States who perform gallbladder removals, using a data-driven model to predict the rate of outpatient gallbladder removal for patients like Dr. Tushla’s.
By comparing these two numbers, you can see whether Dr. Tushla’s rate of outpatient gallbladder removal is lower than, similar to, or higher than predicted.
This prediction adjusts based on the types of patients the doctor sees, so a doctor who treats sicker patients may have a different predicted rate than a doctor who treats healthier patients.
Repeat knee replacement rate
| Dr. Tushla’s rate | < 1% |
| Predicted rate | 2% |
As a patient, you may prefer a doctor who has a lower rate of repeat knee replacement to improve your odds of having an uncomplicated recovery after surgery.
Compared to predicted rates calculated for each doctor’s unique mix of cases and patients
-
Lower than our predicted rate
-
Higher than our predicted rate
-
Similar to our predicted rate
If you need a knee replacement, chances are you only want to have the procedure once. But some people need to have knee replacements done over again, sometimes due to prosthetic damage or infection from a first surgery. Not only is there pain, inconvenience, additional cost, and recovery time associated with a second surgery, but studies have also shown that the rate of complications after a revision of a knee replacement surgery is greater than for a primary knee replacement.
To help you understand how Dr. Tushla’s rate of repeat knee replacement compares to a typical doctor’s:
- We first measure how many of Dr. Tushla’s primary knee replacements resulted in a second knee replacement within 90 days of the first one— we call this their repeat knee replacement rate.
- We then analyze the typical practices of all other doctors in the United States who perform primary knee replacements, using a statistical model to predict the repeat knee replacement rate for patients like Dr. Tushla’s.
By comparing these two numbers, you can see whether Dr. Tushla’s rate of repeat knee replacement is lower than, similar to, or higher than the predicted rate.
This prediction is adjusted based on the types of patients the doctor sees, so a doctor who treats sicker patients will have a different predicted rate than one who treats healthier patients.
