Ratio of observed over predicted rates for diagnosis of cognitive impairment of any stage

  • The measure captures the ratio of the number of patients, who are attributed to a clinician or practice, with a diagnosis of any stage of cognitive impairment over the expected number of cases based on a predictive model. Once the clinician’s or practice’s O/E ratio (i.e., ratio of the observed and expected rates) is calculated, a computation of its associated standard error (SE) can be used to draw inference whether the O/E ratio is significantly different from 1 or not.

Ratio of observed over predicted rates for diagnosis of dementia

  • Ratio of the number of patients 65 and older diagnosed with dementia attributed to a clinician or practice over the number of cases predicted based on the demographic profile of that clinician or practice. Once the clinician’s or practice’s O/E ratio (i.e., ratio of the observed and expected rates) is calculated, a computation of its associated standard error (SE) can be used to draw inference whether the O/E ratio is significantly different from 1 or not.

Ratio of observed over predicted rates for diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment

  • Ratio of the number of patients 65 and older diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment attributed to a clinician or practice over the number predicted based on the demographic profile of that clinician or practice. Once the clinician’s or practice’s O/E ratio (i.e., ratio of the observed and expected rates) is calculated, a computation of its associated standard error (SE) can be used to draw inference whether the O/E ratio is significantly different from 1 or not.
