The evaluation on nuclear power plant operational safety performance had great significance on whether the nuclear power plant operated safely or not. Currently the academic literatures on nuclear power plant operational safety performance are rare. Improved Fuzzy evaluation model which introduce confidence level had been used into the evaluation of nuclear power plant operational safety perfor...

Background and Objectives: The reliability of hospital assessment results depends on the appropriateness of the indicators used. In this study, we systematically review the literature to identify the major indicators of hospital performance evaluation, as employed in performance assessment literature. Methods: Literature databases including PUBMED, Scopus, Science Direct, Google scholar, DOJA, ...

BACKGROUND Quality indicators for Chinese patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) have been developed. However, little is known about the compliance with quality indicators and the association between process indicators and in-hospital mortality in China. METHODS Data from 1862 CHF admissions between 1 January 2009 and 31 October 2010 at 20 tertiary hospitals in Heilongjiang Province were a...

BACKGROUND Although many previous epidemiological studies have reported the incidence of diseases, mortality rate and economic losses after natural disasters, none of these studies has been comprehensive enough. Our aim was to establish a synthetic evaluation model (SEM) that can be used to analyze flood hazards. METHODS Initial evaluation indicators were selected using systematic and literat...

Necrotizing Fasciitis (NF) is a rapid spreading lethal infection of the skin, muscles and soft tissues, with progressive inflammation along tissue planes local destruction. The varied clinical presentation often leads to misdiagnosis. Various co-morbidities can influence course disease. Considering life-threatening nature condition, this study undertaken identify significant prognostic factors,...

Using bibliometric data artificially generated through a model of citation dynamics calibrated on empirical data, we compare several indicators for the scientific impact of individual researchers. The use of such a controlled setup has the advantage of avoiding the biases present in real databases, and it allows us to assess which aspects of the model dynamics and which traits of individual res...
