The chart displays the percentage rates for subsequent surgical procedures, harms, and the composite rate of harms and subsequent surgical procedures. The blue bars represent MILD patients, while the red bars represent laminectomy patients.

Key points from the data:

• MILD patients had a higher rate of subsequent surgical procedures (9.0%) compared to laminectomy patients (5.5%).
• The incidence of harms was lower for MILD patients (1.9%) compared to laminectomy patients (5.8%).
• The composite rate of harms and subsequent surgical procedures was similar between both groups (MILD: 10.8%, Laminectomy: 11.0%).

data is misleading.

100% of the surgical patients had an initial surgery. so if the question is to avoid surgery, one should be comparing 9% to, um, 100%

and im not sure surgeons would be happy knowing that their surgery was considered a harmful event.
