Factor Information
Data ID	2284
Factor	Incidence of preventable AE in different Operator years in practice
Description	A similar relationship was identified when looking at the incidence of preventable AE, with operators with <5 years in practice having higher odds of any preventable AE (OR 2.61, 95% CI 1.83–3.72, P<0.001)5 when compared to operators with <25 years in practice.
Biomarker	NA
Classification	A3 (clinical factor - disease & symptom)

Association
Application	risk assessment
Objective	evaluate the effect of operator experience and case volume on the incidence of adverse events in congenital cardiac catheterization. In particular, the study thought to identify whether operators with less than 5 years in practice have a higher incidence of risk-adjusted adverse events.
p Value	<0.01
OR	2.61
Conclusion	A similar relationship was identified when looking at the incidence of preventable AE, with operators with <5 years in practice having higher odds of any preventable AE (OR 2.61, 95% CI 1.83–3.72, P<0.001)5 when compared to operators with <25 years in practice.
