Methodological Techniques to Estimate the Sensitivity of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Patient Safety Indicators
The sensitivity of several Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality PSIs, estimated from a sample of hospitalizations enriched with records suggesting an unreported complication, varied widely. Although the 2-stage complex stratified sampling design (using weights based on sampling probabilities) allows estimation of the sensitivity of hospital outcome measures, large sample sizes are still required for unusual events.
