We’ve just uploaded information about how we developed the risk-adjustment model used to produce the VLAD charts for the project. You can find it here or click on the image below.
The model was developed based on data from almost 4500 patients recruited to the Perioperative Quality Improvement Programme between December 2016 and January 2018.
The model is being used to produce a variable life-adjusted display plot for each of the 10 pilot hospitals showing their expected against observed postoperative morbidity outcomes.
