Manly District Hospital

The risk-standardised mortality ratio (RSMR) is an indicator that

describes, for each hospital’s patient cohort, the ‘observed’

number of deaths divided by the ‘expected’ number of deaths1.

The ‘expected’ number of deaths takes account of the hospital’s

case mix and is estimated using a statistical model built using the

NSW patient population characteristics and outcomes. A ratio of

less than 1.0 indicates lower than expected mortality while a ratio

greater than 1.0 indicates higher than expected mortality. Small

deviations from 1.0 are not considered to be meaningful.

Funnel plots with 95% and 99.8% control limits around the NSW

rate are used to identify outlier hospitals – those with ‘special

cause’ variation that may warrant further investigation.

The measure is not designed to enable direct comparisons

between hospitals. It assesses each hospital’s results given its

particular case mix. RSMRs do not distinguish deaths that are

avoidable from those that are a reflection of the natural course

of illness.

If a hospital’s RSMR lies on the grey bar, its

mortality is within the range of values expected

for an in control NSW hospital of similar size

The length of the bar for each condition reflects

the tolerance for variation. It is wider for hospitals

admitting a small number of patients

In order to make fair comparisons, a number of risk adjustments

The extent to which comorbidities are coded in the patient record

may affect risk adjustment. Therefore the ‘depth of coding’6 has

been assessed across NSW hospitals. In July 2009 – June 2012,

the average depth of coding was 4.3 diagnoses in this hospital

and 4.3 in NSW; and in July 2012 – June 2015, there were 3.7

diagnoses in this hospital and 4.8 in NSW.

1. Data refer to patients who were discharged between July 2012 and June 2015 who were initially admitted to this hospital (regardless of whether they were subsequently transferred) in their last period of

care, for an acute and emergency hospitalisation with AMI as principal diagnosis (ICD-10-AM codes I21, excluding I21.9). Deaths are from any cause, in or out of hospital within 30 days of the hospitalisation

admission date.

2. Age at admission date.

3. Comorbidities as recorded on patient record, with one year look back from the admission date of the index case. Many are a result of end-organ damage resulting from comorbidities, such as diabetes. The

Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Healthcare comorbidity list was used for acute myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke, haemorrhagic stroke, pneumonia and hip fracture surgery. The

Elixhauser comorbidity list was used for congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. STEMI refers to ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Only those conditions that were shown to have

a significant impact on mortality (P<0.05) are shown.

4. Cumulative percentage of deaths over the 30 days following admission to hospital for the relevant condition.

5. Results for hospitals with expected deaths <1 are not shown. Peer hospitals are identified according to the NSW Ministry of Health’s peer grouping as of April 2012.

6. The depth of coding has been defined as the average number of secondary diagnosis coded for the index cases. The one year look back method which is used for risk adjustment, to some extent accounts

for possible lower depth of coding in some hospitals.

Details of analyses are available in Spotlight on Measurement: Measuring 30-day mortality following hospitalisation, 2nd edition.

1. Data refer to patients who were discharged between July 2012 and June 2015 who were initially admitted to this hospital (regardless of whether they were subsequently transferred) in their last period of

care, for an acute and emergency hospitalisation with haemorrhagic stroke as principal diagnosis (ICD-10-AM code I61, I62). Deaths are from any cause, in or out of hospital within 30 days of the

hospitalisation admission date.

2. Age at admission date.

3. Comorbidities as recorded on patient record, with one year look back from the admission date of the index case. Many are a result of end-organ damage resulting from comorbidities, such as diabetes. The

Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Healthcare comorbidity list was used for acute myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke, haemorrhagic stroke, pneumonia and hip fracture surgery. The

Elixhauser comorbidity list was used for congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. STEMI refers to ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Only those conditions that were shown to have

a significant impact on mortality (P<0.05) are shown.

4. Cumulative percentage of deaths over the 30 days following admission to hospital for the relevant condition.

5. Results for hospitals with expected deaths <1 are not shown. Peer hospitals are identified according to the NSW Ministry of Health’s peer grouping as of April 2012.

6. The depth of coding has been defined as the average number of secondary diagnosis coded for the index cases. The one year look back method which is used for risk adjustment, to some extent accounts

for possible lower depth of coding in some hospitals.

Details of analyses are available in Spotlight on Measurement: Measuring 30-day mortality following hospitalisation, 2nd edition.

In order to make fair comparisons, a number of risk adjustments

are made to mortality data. These take into account patient

factors that influence the likelihood of dying. The table below

illustrates the effect of statistical adjustments on this

hospital’s results.

The RSMR is calculated on the basis of three years of data.

It takes account of differences in patient characteristics so that

assessments of hospital performance are fair. To give an

indication of results within the three-year period, the figure below

shows the RSMR result for July 2012 – June 2015 alongside

differences between this hospital and the NSW result for annual

unadjusted mortality rates.

The extent to which comorbidities are coded in the patient record

may affect risk adjustment. Therefore the ‘depth of coding’6 has

been assessed across NSW hospitals. In July 2009 – June 2012,

the average depth of coding was 9.9 diagnoses in this hospital

and 8.5 in NSW; and in July 2012 – June 2015, there were 8.8

diagnoses in this hospital and 9.4 in NSW.

1. Data refer to patients who were discharged between July 2012 and June 2015 who were initially admitted to this hospital (regardless of whether they were subsequently transferred) in their last period of

care, for an acute hospitalisation with hip fracture as principal diagnosis and treated with surgery (ICD-10-AM codes for hip fracture S72.0, S72.1, S72.2 accompanied with a fall codes W00-W19 and R29.6

and treated with a surgical procedure). Deaths are from any cause, in or out of hospital within 30 days of the hospitalisation admission date.

2. Age at admission date.

3. Comorbidities as recorded on patient record, with one year look back from the admission date of the index case. Many are a result of end-organ damage resulting from comorbidities, such as diabetes. The

Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Healthcare comorbidity list was used for acute myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke, haemorrhagic stroke, pneumonia and hip fracture surgery. The

Elixhauser comorbidity list was used for congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. STEMI refers to ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Only those conditions that were shown to have

a significant impact on mortality (P<0.05) are shown.

4. Cumulative percentage of deaths over the 30 days following admission to hospital for the relevant condition.

5. Results for hospitals with expected deaths <1 are not shown. Peer hospitals are identified according to the NSW Ministry of Health’s peer grouping as of April 2012.

6. The depth of coding has been defined as the average number of secondary diagnosis coded for the index cases. The one year look back method which is used for risk adjustment, to some extent accounts

for possible lower depth of coding in some hospitals.

Details of analyses are available in Spotlight on Measurement: Measuring 30-day mortality following hospitalisation, 2nd edition.
