Case-mix adjusted hospital mortality is a poor proxy for preventable mortality: a modelling study
Risk-adjustment schemes are used to monitor hospital performance, on the assumption that excess mortality not explained by case mix is largely attributable to suboptimal care. We have developed a model to estimate the proportion of the variation in standardised mortality ratios (SMRs) that can be accounted for by variation in preventable mortality. The model was populated with values from the l...

متن کاملDecreased risk adjusted 30-day mortality for hospital admitted injuries: a multi-centre longitudinal study.
BACKGROUND The interpretation of changes in injury-related mortality over time requires an understanding of changes in the incidence of the various types of injury, and adjustment for their severity. Our aim was to investigate changes over time in incidence of hospital admission for injuries caused by falls, traffic incidents, or assaults, and to assess the risk-adjusted short-term mortality fo...
متن کاملRisk adjusted mortality after hip replacement surgery: a retrospective study.
INTRODUCTION Hip replacement (HR) operations are increasing. Short term mortality is an indicator of quality; few studies include risk adjustment models to predict HR outcomes. We evaluated in-hospital and 30-day mortality in hospitalized patients for HR and compared the performance of two risk adjustment algorithms. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study on hospital discharge rec...
متن کاملPerinatal mortality--a hospital based study.
A total of 5082 consecutive deliveries in Medical College Hospital, Kottayam during the period August 1992 to July 1993 constituted the study. Perinatal mortality rate (PMR) was 38.5 per 1000 total births and autopsy rate was 72%. More than 85% of perinatal deaths occured in low birth weight and preterm babies. Perinatal hypoxia and congenital anomalies were the leading causes in late fetal dea...
