A retrospective review with follow-up (mean follow-up time 8.6\u2009\u00b1\u20095.6\u2009years) was performed. Statistical analysis of the surgeon\u2019s level of experience was performed as a categorical variable, after patients were chronologically assigned to groups of tens. Study end points assessing the surgeon\u2019s learning curve included both measures of patient outcome and measures of task efficiency. Study end points included both short- and long-term outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Analysis of task efficiency showed that there was a statistically significant inverse correlation between the surgeon\u2019s level of experience and both cardiopulmonary bypass time (P\u2009=\u20090.026) and aortic cross-clamp time (P\u2009=\u20090.017). Analysis of patient outcome revealed that the incidence of aortic valve-related reoperation during follow-up showed a significant inverse correlation with the surgeon\u2019s level of experience (P\u2009=\u20090.048). Cox regression analysis found that the surgeon\u2019s level of experience (odds ratio 0.802, 95% confidence interval 0.673\u20130.957; P\u2009=\u20090.014) was a significant risk factor for aortic valve-related reoperation-free survival during follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There is a surgeon\u2019s learning curve for aortic valve-sparing David procedure.
