    Journal: Am J Surg; 2009 Nov; 198(5 Suppl):S19-27. PubMed ID: 19874930.
    Abstract:
    This article reviews the philosophy and principles of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) that the founders of the program had in mind when they developed the program; explains how the philosophy and principles led to the design and statistical methods that were chosen for the program; and reviews recently proposed changes to the program and potential problems that these changes may create.
