Comparison of Standardized Mortality Ratios in seven Dutch EDs based on presenting complaints
In summary, patient characteristics and mortality varied largely across Dutch EDs, and expected mortality across EDs is well assessed in PC subgroups without adjustment for final diagnoses. Differences in SMRs across EDs are PC-dependent. Future studies should investigate reasons of the differences in PC-SMRs across EDs and whether PC-targeted quality improvement programs can improve outcomes.
