Complication Rates from Colonoscopy is much less in the Private sector
Interesting data I read from the Victorian Surgical Consultative Council Outcome analysis published in their recent mailout…complication rates for colonoscopy
Public hospital Same Day is 34 out of 79175 for the 2 years from July 2008 to June 2010
Public hospital Multiple Day is 55 out of 12885…(hence rate here is more like 4.2 out of 1000 or about 1 in 250)
For private hospitals, the risks are much lower
14 out of 220 327 for same day
19 out of 12641 for multiple day.
