Abstract in brief

  • The review examined how fatigue and insufficient sleep impact physician health, performance, patient safety, and the effectiveness of interventions, finding mixed effects on performance but no significant difference in patient mortality or complications for sleep-deprived surgeons.
  • Most studies linked fatigue and insufficient sleep to negative outcomes for physicians' wellbeing, but evidence on their impact on surgical performance and medical errors was inconsistent.
  • The researchers used systematic methods, including literature searches and meta-analyses, to synthesize data from over 47 studies conducted between 2000 and 2017, highlighting the need for further high-quality research in this area.]
