Acquisition of data on clinical performance is essential to improve outcomes in surgery. Large, national datasets allow hospitals to monitor events involving patient safety, complications, and benchmark against peer hospitals and facilitate quality improvement (QI) development. Although clinical datasets are often preferable, administrative data also have potential for actionable QI. Hospitals sho

A nationwide random sample of 500 children (6–17 years) diagnosed with depression between 1996 and 2016 was identified in the DPCRR. Psychiatric hospital records were reviewed and rated using an online checklist. The primary outcome was whether depressive symptoms and functional impairment documented in hospital records justified a depressive disorder diagnosis based on ICD‐10 or DSM‐5 diagnostic

The premise of Open Science is that research and medical management will progress faster if data and knowledge are openly shared. The value of Open Science is nowhere more important and appreciated than in the rare disease (RD) community. Research into RDs has been limited by insufficient patient data and resources, a paucity of trained disease experts, and lack of therapeutics, leading to long de

Comorbidities often play an important role in health outcomes and survival. They may also influence the relationship between various exposures and other health outcomes as well as quality of life for a given condition. In epidemiology, two main approaches to adjust for comorbidity can be discerned: (I) adjusting for separate disorders or (II) creating a numeric index that can be included in a stat
