The CTM-3 is a hospital level measure of performance that reports the average patient reported quality of preparation for self-care response among adult patients discharged from general acute care hospitals within the past 30 days.
This measure estimates hospital risk standardized odds ratio for death from all causes within 30 days following transcatheter aortic valve replacement. The measure uses clinical data available in the STS/ACC TVT Registry for risk adjustment. For the purpose of development and testing, the measure used site-reported 30-day follow-up data contained in the STS/ACC TVT Registry.
This measure estimates hospital risk-standardized 30-day all-cause mortality rate following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among patients who are 18 years of age or older with STEMI or cardiogenic shock at the time of procedure. The measure uses clinical data available in the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) CathPCI Registry for risk adjustment. For the purpose of development and testing, the measure cohort was derived in a Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) population of patients 65 years of age or older with a PCI.
This measure estimates hospital risk-standardized 30-day all-cause mortality rate following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among patients who are 18 years of age or older without STEMI and without cardiogenic shock at the time of procedure. The measure uses clinical data available in the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) CathPCI Registry for risk adjustment. For the purpose of development and testing, the measure used a Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) population of patients 65 years of age or older with a PCI.
This measure scores a hospital on the incidence among its patients during the month following discharge from an inpatient stay having a primary diagnosis of PNA for three types of events: readmissions, ED visits and evaluation and management (E&M) services.
The TAVR 30-day morbidity/mortality composite is a hierarchical, multiple outcome risk model that estimates risk standardized results (reported as a “site difference”) for the purpose of benchmarking site performance. This measure estimates hospital risk standardized site difference for 5 endpoints (death from all causes, stroke, major or life-threatening bleeding, acute kidney injury, moderate or severe paravalvular aortic regurgitation) within 30 days following transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
In-hospital deaths per 1,000 discharges with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair, ages 18 years and older. Includes metrics for discharges grouped by type of diagnosis and procedure. Excludes obstetric discharges and transfers to another hospital.
[NOTE: The software provides the rate per hospital discharge. However, common practice reports the measure as per 1,000 discharges. The user must multiply the rate obtained from the software by 1,000 to report in-hospital deaths per 1,000 hospital discharges.]
The number of hospital discharges with a procedure for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair for patients 18 years and older or obstetric patients. Includes optional metrics for the number of discharges grouped by rupture status and procedure type.
Accidental punctures or lacerations (secondary diagnosis) during procedure per 1,000 discharges for patients ages 17 years and younger. Includes metrics for discharges grouped by risk category. Excludes obstetric discharges, spinal surgery discharges, discharges with accidental puncture or laceration as a principal diagnosis, discharges with accidental puncture or laceration as a secondary diagnosis that is present on admission, normal newborns, and neonates with birth weight less than 500 grams.
