According to the article '250000 Deaths Per Year May Be Due To Iatrogenic Causes', Dr. Barbara Starfield's influential commentary in JAMA highlights that iatrogenic causes—harmful effects resulting from medical or surgical interventions—may lead to approximately 250,000 deaths annually in the United States, positioning it as potentially the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. The article identifies various iatrogenic factors, such as unnecessary medications, surgeries, hospital-acquired infections, and adverse drug reactions, emphasizing the urgent need for enhanced safety measures within the healthcare system to prevent these avoidable fatalities. This alarming statistic has sparked ongoing discussions about patient safety and the quality of care in medical practice.
