Dexur MethodologyBack to Top

Data Source: Dexur sourced raw anonymized claims data from Medicare and then performed quality outcomes analysis based on ICD codes specific to the disease / condition.

Disease Incidence Rate: Number of hospitalizations with disease as a percentage of total hospitalizations. In hospital incidence rates are when the disease / condition is developed within the hospital and was not present at the time of admission.

All Cause 30 Day Readmissions with Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) at Index Hospitalization: Rate of patients readmitted to the hospital within 30 days (to any hospital) for any cause when a specific condition was present at time of Hospitalization (Index Hospitalization). All Cause 30 Day Readmission rates are also calculated separately when the disease was present on the hospitalization and without it.

30 Day Readmission Rates with Disease: Rate Number of patients readmitted to the hospital within 30 days (to any hospital) for that specific disease.

Average Length of Stay (LOS): The sum of total days across all stays divided by total stays / hospitalizations. Avg. LOS is also calculated separately when the disease was present on the hospitalization and without it.

Mortality Rate: Percent of patients who expire in hospital. Mortality rates are also calculated separately when the disease was present on the hospitalization and without it.

Revenue per Day: The sum of payments divided by the total number of patient-days in hospital. Revenue per day is also calculated separately when the disease was present on the hospitalization and without it.
