Suppose that you decide to measure and compare the in-hospital mortality of cases treated in each hospital. Exhibit F.10 reports the total cases (discharges) and number of deaths for five major diagnostic categories representing about 50 percent of all hospital admissions for each hospital. (The data are contrived.) 17. How do the diagnostic category-specific rates compare across the two hospitals? How does the overall rate compare? 18. Using the indirect age-adjustment technique and exhibit F.11 as a template, how would you calculate the number of expected deaths in each of the six MDCs for each hospital? Assume that the statewide rates are 0.01 for heart diseases, 0.057 for respiratory diseases, 0.038 for gastrointestinal diseases, 0.008 for musculoskeletal diseases, and 0.022 for nervous system diseases, and use the number of actual deaths from exhibit F.10. What is the SMR for each hospital? Which hospital has a better SMR
