Profile of the key figure COVID-19 (Corona, laboratory-confirmed), mortality

About the indicator «Mortality rate»

Relative proportion of deaths in hospital for a specific intervention or disease per hospital.

The hospitals sometimes treat groups of patients with different case severity. Therefore, the FOPH determines a rate of expected deaths per hospital and procedure. For the quality comparison, we use the ratio between the expected and the actually observed deaths (per intervention and per hospital). This is called risk adjustment. For this reason, it can occasionally happen that a hospital performs better in the ranking even though it has a slightly higher percentage of deaths.

Please note that we use the FOPH data per hospital site in order to achieve the most precise statements possible.

Strengths:

A low number of deaths is the main aim of each treatment and therefore a crucial indicator for patients. A low mortality rate is an indicator of effectively avoiding complications and good treatment processes in the hospital (e.g. quality of surgical techniques, avoidance of errors and complications etc)

Limits:

Unfortunately, mortality rates are not available for all interventions. It is not sure that results are transferable to similar interventions. Also, mortality rates are only meaningful when a sufficient number of cases is reached. Especially with interventions with a low risk of death the needed number of cases is very high and is only reached by large hospitals. For small hospitals it is often not possible to give a meaningful statement (while small case numbers are per se unfavorable, especially with complex interventions). Mortality rates are risk adjusted by the BAG by age and gender of the patient (for details please see the corresponding publications by BAG). A number of specialists have criticized this form of risk adjustment as inadequate. Also it needs to be noted that differences in patterns of relocating patients can introduce bias to mortality rates.

The rhinoplasty was carried out in an older hospital where unfortunately the hygiene regulations were not sufficiently taken into account. In addition, coronavirus measures did not appear to be taken seriously, which further increased concerns about safety.  (surgeon: Ms. Dr. Martina Schneider)

Unfortunately only a business for which financial success is more important than well-being and the success of the treatment. Treating doctor does not make a competent impression. There are no Covid tests, distances between patients, etc. here. So probably no Covid either.

Got a new hip joint, am completely satisfied with everything! The whole hospital stay was very pleasant and the entire staff - despite Corona - was always very attentive and friendly. 

About the surgery:

Artificial hip joint received because of arthrosis, I have a history of congenital hip dysplasia that was operated on as a child. I was able to leave the hospital after 3 days. Hassle free healing. Mr. Kleppi is a great and very personable doctor, always had time for questions and explained everything (surgeon: Dr. Tilmann Kleppi)

Entered and got infected with Corona! No wonder, given the bad measures. Patients crouched on each other and there were no controls or testing options. Had to really energetically ask for a test. After I was positive I was left alone in the room and was not taken care of.

If you ask why the result is delivered earlier in other hospitals (covidtest), you get the answer: then you just have to go to another hospital! You do that too! (Operator). Lots of sayings on the walls but nothing behind them. Customer friendliness à la usz
