Comparing regression-adjusted mortality to standardized mortality ratios for trauma center profiling

BACKGROUND: Trauma center profiling is commonly performed with Standardized Mortality Ratios (SMRs). However, comparison of SMRs across trauma centers with different case mix can induce confounding leading to biased trauma center ranks. We hypothesized that Regression-Adjusted Mortality (RAM) estima...
