Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that can be overused if performed on patients without a clear indication for the procedure. Hospitalization rates can vary systematically between different geographic areas, due to patient preferences and physician recommendations, which can play a role in the decision to undergo a hysterectomy and, consequently, influence hospitalization rates for this surgical procedure.
The “Planned Hospitalization for Hysterectomy” indicator measures the variability in hospitalization rates between geographic areas and identifies potential overuse of the surgical technique, since it is unlikely that the appropriate indications for hysterectomy will vary systematically between the areas considered.
