What is Correlation of Relative Value Units With Surgical Complexity and Physician Workload in Urology about?
## Objective: To define the relationship between urology relative value units (rvus) and measures of surgical complexity and physician workload. secondary objectives include: (1) identifying procedures with outlying rvu values for their measures of surgical complexity and workload; and (2) calculating projected rvu values for these procedures. ## Methods: We obtained surgical case data for 71 urology current procedural terminology (cpt) codes from the 2017 american college of surgeons national surgical quality improvement program (nsqip) database. pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to measure the association between mean total work rvu and operative time, length of hospital stay, serious adverse events, readmissions, and mortality. we developed a multivariable regression model to predict mean total work rvu from these measures. studentized residuals were used to identify outlying cpt codes for both bivariable and multivariable regression models, and empirically derived rvu values from complexity and work effort metrics were estimated. ## Results: We analyzed 71 urology cpt codes encompassing 55,068 cases. rvus correlated well with median length of hospital stay (r = 0
