Existing literature has shown racial/ethnic disparities between white and black surgical populations, however, surgical outcomes for Hispanic patients are limited in both scope and quantity. Data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program from 2007 to 2015 was used to analyze surgical outcomes in approximately 3.5 million patients. Overall, Hispanics experienced lower odds of mortality compared to non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, and non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native patients (all P < 0.0001). No difference was found in mortality odds between Hispanics and non-Hispanic Asian or Native Hawaiian patients. Hispanics experienced minimal disparities in complications as compared to non-Hispanic White and non-Hispanic Black but had a higher rate of select complications when compared to Non-Hispanic Asian, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander. Hispanics, in general, had lower odds of 30-day postoperative mortality and major morbidity compared to most of the races/ethnicities included in the ACS NSQIP database. •Postoperative mortality lower in Hispanics than Whites, Blacks, and American Indians.•Surgical complications lower in Hispanics than Whites, Blacks, and American Indians.•Higher rate of select postoperative complications in Hispanics compared to Asians.•Provides evidence for the Hispanic Epidemiological Paradox in surgical outcomes.
