The purpose of this study was to analyze a nationwide database of malpractice lawsuits involving pediatric surgical patients to identify contributing factors in liability claims. Using the CRICO (Controlled Risk Insurance Company Strategies’ Comparative Benchmarking System) database, malpractice claims involving patients ≤18 y old were reviewed from 2008 to 2017. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Of the 844 claims, 76% of the patients were older than age 5. While the average total indemnity paid was $544,325, cases with claimants <1-year-old accounted for 24% of the total indemnity paid, with an average of $1,135,240 per claimant. The most frequently named responsible services were Orthopedics (34%), General Surgery (15%), and Otolaryngology (11%). Fracture or dislocation, appendectomy, skin/breast surgery, arthroscopy, and tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy were among the frequently involved procedures for the cohort of cases. The most common contributing factors for the top procedures involve issues surrounding patient assessment, technical performance, and communication. Cases with a contributing factor of failure to appreciate and reconcile relevant sign/symptom/test results were associated with a higher likelihood of payment (OR 6.6, P < 0.05). Issues surrounding the selection of therapy also led to an increased likelihood of an indemnity payment (OR 2.8, P < 0.05). Malpractice claims related to pediatric surgical procedures involve a wide range of specialties. Patient evaluations, technical performance, and communication are modifiable factors to improve surgical care in children. The contributing factors assigned to each procedure may represent an opportunity for focused improvement to improve patient outcomes.
