Risk-adjusted monitoring of binary surgical outcomes.
A graphical procedure suitable for prospectively monitoring surgical performance is proposed. The approach is based on accumulating evidence from the outcomes of all previous surgical patients in a series using a new type of cumulative sum chart. Cumulative sum procedures are designed to "signal" if sufficient evidence has accumulated that the surgical failure rate has changed substantially. In...
متن کاملInter-hospital variations in caesarean sections. A risk adjusted comparison in the Valencia public hospitals.

METHODS Analysis of data contained in the Minimum Basic Data Set (MBDS) compiled for all births in 11 public hospitals in Valencia during 1994-1995 (n=36 819...
متن کاملDeveloping risk-adjusted 30-day hospital mortality rates.
This article describes one risk-adjustment method useful for minimizing threats to internal validity that stem from the impact on the outcomes under investigation from patients' own characteristics and their associated risks. Mortality is the outcome used to illustrate the risk-adjustment approach. A two-step approach to outcomes research is suggested. The first step includes risk-adjusting out...
متن کاملMonitoring binary outcomes using risk-adjusted charts: a comparative study.
Monitoring binary outcomes when evaluating health care performance has recently become common. Classical statistical methodologies such as cumulative sum (CUSUM) charts have been refined and used for this purpose. For instance, the risk-adjusted CUSUM chart (RA-CUSUM) for monitoring binary outcomes was proposed for monitoring 30-day mortality following cardiac surgery. The RA-CUSUM inherits opt...
متن کاملA novel risk-adjusted nomogram for rectal cancer surgery outcomes.
IMPORTANCE The circumferential resection margin is the primary determinant of local recurrence and a major factor in survival in rectal cancer. Neither chemotherapy nor chemoradiation compensates for a margin positive for cancer. OBJECTIVE To identify treatment-related factors associated with hospital margin-positive resection and to develop a tool that could be used by individual hospitals t...
