Prevalence and Incidence Interpretation

Wrong-site surgery statistics reveal a chilling paradox: despite being astronomically rare on paper, with many rates hovering around one in tens of thousands, the sheer volume of global surgery means countless patients still suffer this preventable trauma, and the haunting fact that a quarter of surgeons will experience it in their career proves systems, not just individuals, are failing.

How We Rate Confidence

Models

Every statistic is queried across four AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity). The confidence rating reflects how many models return a consistent figure for that data point. Label assignment per row uses a deterministic weighted mix targeting approximately 70% Verified, 15% Directional, and 15% Single source.
