Association between ten complications and mortality
Five complications were significantly associated with an increased risk of mortality at 30 and 60 days. These findings highlight the importance of closely monitoring and managing complications. Improved registration practices in project hospitals were linked to fewer complications that showed a relation with mortality. Complications without a clear association with mortality may be more suitable for short-cycle in-hospital feedback rather than a national audit.
