Comparison of Standardized Mortality Ratios in seven Dutch EDs based on presenting complaints

Comparison of Standardized Mortality Ratios in seven Dutch EDs based on presenting complaints

Comparison of emergency departments (EDs) becomes more important, but differences are difficult to interpret because of the heterogeneity of the ED population regarding reason for ED presentation. The aim of this study was two-fold: First to compare patient characteristics (including diagnoses) across 7 EDs. Secondly, to compare Standardized Mortality Ratios (SMRs) across 7 EDs and in subgroups of ED patients categorized by presenting complaints (PCs).
