Effect of the 16-Hour Work Limit on General Surgery Intern Operative Case Volume: A Multi-institutional Study

IMPORTANCE The 80-hour work-week limit for all residents was instituted in 2003 and studies looking at its effect have been mixed. Since the advent of the 16-hour mandate for postgraduate year 1 residents in July 2011, no data have been published regarding the effect of this additional work-hour res...

description IMPORTANCE The 80-hour work-week limit for all residents was instituted in 2003 and studies looking at its effect have been mixed. Since the advent of the 16-hour mandate for postgraduate year 1 residents in July 2011, no data have been published regarding the effect of this additional work-hour restriction. OBJECTIVE To determine whether the 16-hour intern work limit, implemented in July 2011, has adversely affected operative experience. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A retrospective review of categorical postgraduate year 1 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education case logs from the intern class (N = 52) (with 16-hour work limit) compared with the 4 preceding years (2007-2010; N = 197) (without 16-hour work limit). A total of 249 categorical general surgery interns from 10 general surgery residency programs in the western United States were included. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Total, major, first-assistant, and defined-category case totals. RESULTS As compared with the preceding 4 years, the 2011-2012 interns recorded a 25.8% decrease in total operative cases (65.9 vs 88.8, P = .005), a 31.8% decrease in major cases (54.9 vs 80.5, P

There were statistically significant decreases in cases within the defined categories of abdomen, endocrine, head and neck, basic laparoscopy, complex laparoscopy, pediatrics, thoracic, and soft tissue/breast surgery in the 16-hour shift intern era, whereas there was no decrease in trauma, vascular, alimentary, endoscopy, liver, and pancreas cases. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The 16-hour work limit for interns, implemented in July 2011, is associated with a significant decrease in categorical intern operative experience. If the 16-hour shift were to be extended to all postgraduate year levels, one can anticipate that additional years of training will be needed to maintain the same operative volume.</description><identifier>ISSN: 2168-6254</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2168-6262</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1001/jamasurg.2013.2677</identifier><identifier>PMID: 23843028</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: American Medical Association</publisher><subject>Education, Medical, Graduate ; General Surgery - education ; Humans ; Internship and Residency ; Retrospective Studies ; United States ; Work Schedule Tolerance ; Workload - standards</subject><ispartof>JAMA surgery, 2013-09, Vol.148 (9), p.829-833</ispartof><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamasurgery/articlepdf/10.1001/jamasurg.2013.2677$$EPDF$$P50$$Gama$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamasurgery/fullarticle/10.1001/jamasurg.2013.2677$$EHTML$$P50$$Gama$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>64,314,780,784,3340,27924,27925,76489,76492</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23843028$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Schwartz, Samuel I</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Galante, Joseph</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Kaji, Amy</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Dolich, Matthew</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Easter, David</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Melcher, Marc L</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Patel, Kevin</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Reeves, Mark E</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Salim, Ali</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Senagore, Anthony J</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Takanishi, Danny M</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>de Virgilio, Christian</creatorcontrib><title>Effect of the 16-Hour Work Limit on General Surgery Intern Operative Case Volume: A Multi-institutional Study</title><title>JAMA surgery</title><addtitle>JAMA Surg</addtitle><description>IMPORTANCE The 80-hour work-week limit for all residents was instituted in 2003 and studies looking at its effect have been mixed.
