Comparison groups: cases involving junior residents (PGY 1\u2013PGY 3), mid-level residents (PGY 4\u00a0+\u00a0PGY 5), and senior residents (PGY 6\u00a0+\u00a0PGY 7). Primary outcome measures included any wound disruption (surgical site infections and\/or wound dehiscence), Clavien-Dindo grade IV (life-threatening) complications, and death.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Compared to junior residents (n = 3729) and mid-level residents (n = 2779), senior residents (n = 3692) operated on patients with a greater comorbidity burden, as reflected by higher American Society of Anesthesiology classifications and decreased level of functional status. Cases with senior resident participation experienced the highest percentages of postoperative wound complications (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .005), Clavien-Dindo grade IV complications (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .001), and death (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .035).
