SURGICAL DATA SCIENCE

Surgery is a central pillar of modern healthcare. At the same time, death after surgery is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide [1]. Research indicates that a large proportion of these deaths can be avoided. Surgical data science is the scientific discipline that seeks to improve the quality, safety, and value of interventional healthcare through the acquisition, organization, analysis, and modeling of data. The Surgical Data Science Initiative was founded to advance this emerging research field by international collaboration.
