Surgery

This is a hospital based, risk adjusted, case mix adjusted morbidity and mortality aggregate outcome measure of adults 18+ years undergoing colon surgery.

Percent of patients aged 18 years and older undergoing isolated CABG for whom mediastinitis or deep sternal wound infection is diagnosed within 30 days postoperatively or at any time during the hospitalization for surgery

Percentage of patients greater than or equal to 18 years of age undergoing elective lung resection (Open or VATS wedge resection, segmentectomy, lobectomy, bilobectomy, sleeve lobectomy, pneumonectomy) for lung cancer who developed any of the following postoperative complications: reintubation, need for tracheostomy, initial ventilator support > 48 hours, ARDS, pneumonia, pulmonary embolus, bronchopleural fistula, unexpected return to the operating room, myocardial infarction or operative mortality (death during the index hospitalization, regardless of timing, or within 30 days, regardle

Percent of patients aged 18 years and older undergoing isolated CABG who require intubation for more than 24 hours postoperatively

Percent of patients aged 18 years and older undergoing isolated CABG (without pre-existing renal failure) who develop postoperative renal failure or require dialysis

Percent of patients aged 18 years and older undergoing isolated CABG who have a postoperative stroke (i.e., any confirmed neurological deficit of abrupt onset caused by a disturbance in blood supply to the brain) that did not resolve within 24 hours

Percent of patients aged 18 years and older undergoing isolated CABG who require a re-intervention during the current hospitalization for mediastinal bleeding with or without tamponade, graft occlusion, valve dysfunction, or other cardiac reason

This measure is a ratio of observed to expected rate of in-hospital mortality following non-cardiac surgery among infants <= 30 days of age, risk-adjusted.

Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older undergoing infrainguinal lower extremity bypass who are prescribed a statin medication at discharge. This measure is proposed for both hospitals and individual providers.

The STS AVR+CABG Composite Score comprises two domains consisting of six measures: Domain 1) Absence of Operative Mortality – Proportion of patients (risk-adjusted) who do not experience operative mortality. Operative mortality is defined as death during the same hospitalization as surgery or after discharge but within 30 days of the procedure; and Domain 2) Absence of Major Morbidity – Proportion of patients (risk-adjusted) who do not experience any major morbidity. Major morbidity is defined as having at least one of the following adverse outcomes: 1.
