The outcome of a plane flight can be
a routine landing (not news)
Or this
or this
Learning from adverse outcomes requires consideration of the plane and external factors (e.g. geese). But from the moment the plane takes off, the pilot is the method.
Stress fractures were identified in 1 of 50 patients with osteoarthritis and 1 of 20 patients with cuff tear arthropathy or massive rotator cuff tears. In the osteoarthritis group, inflammatory arthritis was associated with an increased risk of fracture. In the cuff tear arthropathy/massive rotator cuff tears group, inflammatory arthritis, female sex, and osteoporosis were associated with increased risk of fracture.
When a plane prepares for takeoff, the pilot is the method. When a surgical procedure begins, the surgeon is the method. In spite of the fact that the surgeon is a major determinant of the outcome, the “surgeon effect” is rarely studied.
Hopefully, this study group will consider adding “the surgeon effect” to their research.
After take off, the eagle is the method
