A systematic review and meta-analysis aims to assess the impact of racism on surgical outcomes in the USA and Canada. The study will compile data on adverse postoperative events for racialised versus non-racialised patients across common and high-risk surgeries. Key outcomes include mortality and complication rates, with a focus on identifying substantial gaps in care. Findings are expected to guide the development of surgical equity tools and quality improvement measures in healthcare systems.
