2019 Sunshine "From 1990 to 2016, there were an estimated 123 603 deaths, despite an overall increase in the number of deaths due to AEMT over time..." This study’s findings suggest a modest reduction in the mortality rate associated with AEMT in the United States from 1990 to 2016 while also observing increased mortality associated with advancing age and noted geographic variability. The annual GBD releases may allow for tracking of the burden of AEMT in the United States. 2016 Makary Medical error—the third leading cause of death in the US Medical error is not included on death certificates or in rankings of cause of death. Martin Makary and Michael Daniel assess its contribution to mortality and call for better reporting

2000 Starfield 44,000 to 98,000 among them die each year as a result of medical errors Information concerning the deficiencies of US medical care has been accumulating. The fact that more than 40 million people have no health insurance is well known. The high cost of the health care system is considered to be a deficit, but seems to be tolerated under the assumption that better health results from more expensive care, despite evidence from a few studies indicating that as many as 20% to 30% of patients receive contraindicated care.1 In addition, with the release of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report "To Err Is Human,"2 millions of Americans learned, for the first time, that an estimated 44,000 to 98,000 among them die each year as a result of medical errors. 2000 Kohn Experts estimate that as many as 98,000 people die in any given year from medical errors that occur in hospitals.
