  1. Risk adjustment and other reporting issues Shalini Santhakumaran NDAU Statistician Imperial College London

  2. Why report outcomes ? Comparison Transparency Audit Commissioning Accountability Improvements in neonatal care and outcomes

  3. Data Issues • Completeness • Accuracy

  4. Data Issues Completeness Accuracy • Agreed case definitions

  5. Data Issues Completeness Accuracy • Agreed case definitions • Neonatal transfers

  6. Analysis issues • Unadjusted data is useful for some purposes • For others a more detailed analysis is required

  7. Analysis issues • Unadjusted data is useful for some purposes • For others a more detailed analysis is required • 3 reasons for variation in outcome:

  8. Analysis issues • Unadjusted data is useful for some purposes • For others a more detailed analysis is required • 3 reasons for variation in outcome: • Differences in case-mix • Random variation • Differences in care provided

  9. Analysis issues • Differences in case-mix • Random variation • Differences in care provided • Selection of variables • Use of appropriate statistical models • Cannot completely control for case-mix

  13. Analysis issues • Differences in case-mix • Random variation • Differences in care provided • Occurs by chance even if the underlying mortality rate is the same for all providers • Illustrate significance using funnel plots

  14. Funnel plot for adjusted SMR 95% confidence interval limits = “warning” 99.8% confidence interval limits = “alarm” ●= complete networks ○= incomplete networks

  15. Analysis issues • Differences in case-mix • Random variation • Differences in care provided • Not necessarily due to good/poor performance • ‘Constant risk fallacy’ and other local effects • Cannot tell us whether deaths were preventable • Needs to be linked to process measures

  16. The National Neonatal Database • Individual, not aggregated • Population-based • Detailed clinical record • Electronic • Collaborative access to denominator data

  17. The National Neonatal Database • Individual, not aggregated • Population-based • Detailed clinical record • Electronic • Collaborative access to denominator data • …ideal for reporting outcomes
