Our paper highlights that accounting for PATOS is important for estimating unadjusted postoperative complication rates in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery. Risk adjustment is essential to any attempt at quality assessment and benchmarking. Failure to account for PATOS may penalize surgeons who care for the sickest and most complicated patients and subsequently encourage cherry-picking of less risky patients and procedures.
