Thanks to femto, we have some data. It seems that the 30 day mortality rate is lower than that in the US. Care to answer this other than with thinly veiled casual racism?
Dr Shetty's success rates appear to be as good as those of many hospitals abroad. Narayana Hrudayalaya reports a 1.4 per cent mortality rate within 30 days of coronary artery bypass graft surgery, one of the most common procedures, compared with an average of 1.9 per cent in the US in 2008, according to data gathered by the Chicago-based Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
Dr Lewin believes Dr Shetty's success rates would look even better if he adjusted for risk, because his patients often lack access to even basic health care and suffer from more advanced cardiac disease when they finally come in for surgery.
