BACKGROUND The Medicare Quality Monitoring System (MQMS) is a system that monitors the quality

of care delivered to Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries. The MQMS is developed in the context of growing public concerns over quality of care, patient safety, and hospital performance. It is directed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) with assistance from its contractors. MQMS development and production involves a diverse group of CMS staff, including clinical area team leaders (clinicians), epidemiologists, statisticians, and data analysts in the central and regional offices. CMS also consulted with leading experts in other federal agencies—such as the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality, the Centers for Disease Control—and in quality improvement organizations and academia.

PURPOSE MQMS uses Medicare administrative and survey data to track trends, patterns, and

variations in health, disease-specific, and procedure-specific outcomes at the national and state level that are related to CMS’ quality improvement program and initiatives. It provides input for broad and high-level policy making and program planning within CMS.

• Specifically, the MQMS data are to be used for:

- Identifying potential quality problems

- Targeting interventions

- Prioritizing activities & allocation of resources

- Focusing on a particular problem

- Raising research questions/hypotheses for further investigation

• The MQMS data should not be interpreted as:

- Research that links cause and effect

- Evaluation of the performance of individual Quality Improvement Organizations (QIOs) or states.

- Evaluation of the effectiveness of the QIO program or other CMS quality improvement policies and initiatives

About MQMS

POPULATION AND HEALTH ISSUES EXAMINED The MQMS population consists of Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) beneficiaries.

MQMS is limited to FFS beneficiaries because of the current lack of encounter data from Medicare managed care plans. The analysis is limited to the national and/or state level, showing trends over time for various demographic and geographic subgroups. The trends and patterns are adjusted for variations in the age and sex composition of the population. MQMS monitors the following types of quality measures:

• Mortality, survival rates, readmission rates, length of stay, and cost of hospitalizations for five conditions common in the Medicare population—acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure, pneumonia, stroke, and diabetes

• Mortality and readmission rates following cancer-related and cardiac-related high-risk surgical procedures

• Patient safety

• Preventable hospitalization

METHODS MQMS products, listed below, are designed as national- and state-level monitoring

tools, and not as provider-level monitoring tools. Since the figures are presented at the national, regional, and state levels, they are adjusted to a standard distribution of age and sex. The age-sex adjustment eliminates population differences in age and sex distributions between states, between years, or between subgroups as a cause of the MQMS findings.1

MQMS results are not risk adjusted beyond the age-sex adjustment. This approach assumes that the distribution of health risks is similar from one state population to another state population, or between subgroups being compared, and that the distribution of health risks in the national population is similar from one year to another. CMS continues to assess the validity of this assumption.

MQMS results are based on data from all fee-for-service beneficiaries and claims, rather than a sample of such beneficiaries and claims. This means that the rates presented in MQMS reports do not contain sampling error. MQMS rates are not presented with confidence intervals or significance testing, since these intervals and tests are based on properties of sampling error. This approach implies that the FFS population is not interpreted as a sample drawn from a super-population, such as all Medicare beneficiaries or FFS beneficiaries from another time period.

1 For reasons of policy relevance, and because of numerous changes in the ICD-9 codes used to define the patient safety measures, this report focuses on a cross-sectional analysis of 2000 and 2001, the years for which the most recent data are available.

About MQMS

MQMS results are subject to measurement error in the Denominator File and MedPAR database, as well as to modeling error resulting from the age-sex adjustment. CMS continues to investigate the magnitude of these errors.

PRODUCTS The MQMS products are a series of reports on quality measures, a set of tables on

CMS’ web site, plus the data files at the person and aggregate level used to generate the reports and documentation of the methodology. The reports are available on the CMS website; the data files are located on the CMS mainframe. To facilitate the use of the data and replication of the analysis, CMS makes available SAS programs and data processing documentation. Access to the data can be granted to CMS analysts on request. Other federal agencies and CMS contractors may obtain the data through a formal data request process.

E X E C U T I V E S U M M A R Y

This report presents rates of 12 potentially preventable adverse events occurring during hospital care (the MQMS Patient Safety Measures) among discharges of Medicare beneficiaries in the fee-for-service program in the years 2000 and 2001. The MQMS Patient Safety Measures have been selected and adapted from the Patient Safety Indicators developed by Stanford University and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (McDonald et al. 2002). The source of data for this report is Medicare claims and enrollment data. This report and several companion reports together constitute a large scale surveillance effort. The current report addresses three specific questions:

• What are overall rates of the 12 Patient Safety Measures?

• How do these rates differ among the following seven demographic and geographic subgroups: (1) age, (2) gender, (3) race, (4) dual eligibility, (5) reason for Medicare entitlement, (6) rural or urban residence, and (7) region of the U.S.?

• What specific complications, procedures, and Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs) make up or have the highest rates of selected Patient Safety Measures related to perioperative care?

Rates of MQMS Patient Safety Measures for the Overall Nation

• Rates of Patient Safety Measures have a wide range, with the most common one, Decubitus Ulcers, occurring relatively frequently (27 events per 1,000 discharges), and the most uncommon one, Foreign Body Left in During Procedure, occurring only rarely (0.08 events per 1,000 discharges). Quality improvement efforts focused on the more common events may have a higher yield than efforts focused on the rare ones.

• Although other studies have used very different data sources, patient populations, and measurement methods, rates of MQMS Patient Safety Measures are roughly comparable to previously reported results.

Executive Summary

Rates of MQMS Patient Safety Measures for Beneficiary Subgroups

• By Age Groups

- Rates of Decubitus Ulcer increase sharply with increasing age, with a fourfold increase between the oldest and youngest age groups.

- Rates of Postoperative Septicemia have a “U” shaped distribution, with the highest rates in the oldest and youngest age groups, and intermediate rates in the other age groups.

- Rates of inpatient hip fractures increase with older age. - Rates of Selected Infections due to Medical Care (primarily catheter

related infections) vary inversely with age.

• By Gender

- Males have consistently worse rates in Postoperative Septicemia, Postoperative Respiratory Failure, and Postoperative Abdominopelvic Wound Dehsicence. The septicemia finding is consistent with other recent research.

- Women have a higher rate for Postoperative Hip Fractures, but equal rates for all Inpatient Hip Fractures.

• By Race

- African-Americans have the highest rates and Whites the lowest for Decubitus Ulcers, Postoperative Septicemia, Selected Infections due to Medical Care, and Postoperative Respiratory Failure. The septicemia finding has also been recently reported by other researchers.

• By Dual Eligibility

- Dually eligible beneficiaries have roughly twice the rates of Decubitus Ulcers, Postoperative Septicemia, and Postoperative Respiratory Failure as non-dually eligible ones.

- Dually eligible beneficiaries also have worse rates for Postoperative Abdominopelvic Wound Dehiscence, Selected Infections Due to Medical Care, and Postoperative Hip Fracture, although the differences are smaller.

• By Reason for Medicare Entitlement

- Beneficiaries with ESRD have much worse rates (compared to Aged and Disabled beneficiaries) for all but three Patient Safety Measures (Postoperative Abdominopelvic Wound Dehiscence, Inpatient Hip Fracture, and Postoperative Hip Fracture). Disabled beneficiaries tend to

Executive Summary

have the lowest rates, and aged beneficiaries tend to have intermediate rates.

• By Rural or Urban Residence

- Urban beneficiaries have rates of Decubitus Ulcer that are 40 percent higher than rural beneficiaries.

- Urban beneficiaries have slightly higher rates of Postoperative Septicemia and Postoperative Respiratory Failure than rural beneficiaries.

• By Region of the U.S.

- There is no consistent pattern of differences across regions. Rates of Decubitus Ulcers are higher in the South and Northeast than in the West and the Midwest. Rates of Postoperative Septicemia and Postoperative Respiratory Failure are somewhat higher in the South than in the other regions.

Specific Complications, Procedures, and Diagnosis Related Groups Related to Six Selected Peri- and Postoperative Patient Safety Measures

• Anesthesia Complications and Reactions

- The most common complications were adverse effects from unspecified general anesthetics, unspecified spinal anesthetics, and intravenous anesthetics.

- Major Joint and Limb Reattachment Procedures of the Lower Extremity is the most common single DRG, but most discharges belong to a mixed group of discharges with many DRGs.

- The DRGs with the ten highest rates of anesthetic complications include orthopedic surgeries (back and neck, major joint and limb, and hip and femur procedures), gastrointestinal surgeries (major small and large bowel procedures, laparoscopic cholecystectomy), thoracic surgeries (major chest procedurers), and vascular surgeries (extracranial vascular, and other vascular procedures). Rates of anesthetic complications across DRGs vary widely, from 0.14 per 1,000 to 1.18 per 1,000 discharges.

• Postoperative Hemorrhage or Hematoma

- No one procedure or group of procedures predominates. The single most common procedure (carotid endarterectomy) makes up only 10 percent of all discharges with this complication.

- No one DRG predominates, either. The single most common DRG (Other Vascular Procedures with Complications or Comorbidities) represents about 14 percent of all discharges.

Executive Summary

- The Liver Transplant DRG has a rate of this complication (35.6 events per 1,000 discharges) more than twice as high as the DRG with the next highest rate (Kidney Transplant, at 14.9 per events per 1,000 discharges).

- Other DRGs, representing a variety of urological, gastrointestinal, and general surgical admissions, have rates ranging from 9 to 13 events per 1,000 discharges.

• Postoperative Physiologic or Metabolic Derangement

- Ninety percent of the complications in this measure are due to acute renal failure, with the remainder due to diabetes.

- The single most common procedure is kidney transplant.

- Other procedures include resection of abdominal aortic aneurysm, creation of arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis, angioplasty or atherectomy of non-coronary vessel, other peripheral vascular shunt or bypass, aortocoronary bypass-3 vessels, nephroureterectomy, and total knee replacement.

- Some procedures may be markers for underlying severity of illness—temporary tracheostomy and excisional wound debridement.

- No single DRG or group of DRGs predominates.

- Kidney transplant is the DRG with the highest rate by far (about 80 events per 1,000 discharges), about 4 times higher than the next highest rate (19 events per 1,000 discharges, for temporary tracheostomy), and 10 to 20 times higher than the other rates (4 to 7 events per 1,000 discharges)

• Postoperative Respiratory Failure

- The most common DRG is tracheostomy for respiratory failure, about a third of the total. These procedures might be in response to (and not necessarily a cause of) prolonged respiratory failure and ventilator dependence.

- Tracheostomy for respiratory failure is also the DRG with a much higher rate of this complication than other DRGs.

• Postoperative Septicemia

- Nearly half of discharges with postoperative septicemia were coded as nonspecific septicemia.

- Thirty-five percent of discharges were due to gram positive organisms, or about three-quarters of cases with a specified bacterial organism. Twelve percent of discharges were due to gram negative organisms, about one quarter of cases with a specified bacterial organism. These results are similar to other recent results.

Executive Summary

- The most common procedure was temporary tracheostomy.

- DRGs for major vascular and abdominal surgeries were the most common.

- The DRG Tracheostomy Except for Face, Neck, and Mouth Diagnoses had the highest rate. This DRG may be a marker for severity of illness.

• Postoperative Wound Dehiscence

- The most common procedures include several major gastrointestinal and abdominal surgeries, consistent with another recent study.

I. INTRODUCTION

The safety of American health care is an important public health and policy issue. In its report To Err Is Human, the Institute of Medicine estimated that 44,000 to 98,000 people die each year from medical errors occuring in hospitals (Kohn et al., 2000). That report, along with widely reported news stories of medical mistakes, opened the eyes of the public, policymakers, and health care providers to the frequency and seriousness of patient safety problems.

This report uses data from the Medicare Quality Monitoring System (MQMS) to study rates of serious, potentially preventable adverse events occurring during hospital care that are measurable with hospital administrative discharge data. Although adverse events will occur even with the safest of care, and may not occur despite highly unsafe care, potentially preventable adverse events should in general occur less frequently with high-quality, error-free care, and more frequently with lower quality, error-prone care. The adverse events reported here are a subset of the of the Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) researched and developed by Stanford University for the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research (AHRQ).

The MQMS Patient Safety Measures

The MQMS Patient Safety Measures include a subset of 11 of the original 20 PSIs developed by Stanford University and AHRQ (McDonald et al. 2002), and an alternative definition of one of the 11, for a total of 12 measures. The alternatively defined measure is a variation of the AHRQ postoperative hip fracture indicator. The AHRQ indicator (which we call the “AHRQ Postoperative Hip Fracture” measure) includes only surgical discharges.

Patient Safety, 1995-2001

The CMS MQMS Patient Safety Measure Workgroup (see Appendix A) felt that patients with medical discharges should be included as well. The AHRQ postoperative hip fracture indicator also excludes patients with the following diagnoses: musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases, seizure disorder, syncope, stroke, coma, cardiac arrest, poisoning, trauma, delirium and other psychoses, anoxic brain injury, metastatic cancer, lymphoid malignancy, bone malignancy, or self-inflicted injury, whereas the CMS MQMS Patient Safety Measure Workgroup felt that patients with these diagnoses were especially vulnerable to injury and ought to be included. Thus, MQMS includes an inpatient hip fracture measure (called “MQMS Inpatient Hip Fracture”) that is derived from the original AHRQ indicator but that has much broader inclusion criteria.

The nine PSIs not included in MQMS are—Death in Low Mortality DRGs, Failure to Rescue, Postoperative Thromboembolism, Accidental Puncture and Laceration, Transfusion Reaction, and the four PSIs for obstetrical care. The obstetrical PSIs were not included because most female Medicare beneficiaries are beyond the age of childbearing. Reasons for not including the remaining five PSIs in MQMS are detailed in Appendix A. The 12 MQMS Patient Safety Measures are thus as follows:

1. Anesthesia Reactions and Complications

2. Decubitus Ulcer

3. Foreign Body Left in During Procedure

4. Iatrogenic Pneumothorax

5. Postoperative Hemorrhage or Hematoma

6. AHRQ Postoperative Hip Fracture

7. MQMS Inpatient Hip Fracture

8. Postoperative Physiologic or Metabolic Derangement

9. Postoperative Respiratory Failure

10. Postoperative Septicemia

11. Postoperative Abdominopelvic Wound Dehiscence

12. Selected Infections Due to Medical Care

Section II of the report presents results for the Patient Safety Measures at the national level, and results within the following beneficiary subgroups:

1. Age

Patient Safety, 1995-2001

2. Gender

3. Race

4. Dual Eligibility (for both Medicare and Medicaid)

5. Reason for Medicare Entitlement

6. Rural or Urban Residence

7. Region of the U.S.

Because of the low rates of several of the outcomes, data are presented for the years 2000 and 2001 combined. The two most infrequent outcomes (Anesthetic Complications and Reactions and Foreign Body Left in During Procedure) are shown only in the overall U.S. chart and the tabular results in Appendix B because of the difficulty of displaying them in the same charts as the other outcomes.

To remove the contributions of age and sex differences to any observed differences between subgroups, the subgroup results have been age, sex, or age and sex adjusted to the July 1999 Medicare fee-for-service population. Thus, in the gender comparisons, the male and female subgroups have been adjusted to the age distribution of the July 1999 reference population, in the age group comparisons, the age subgroups have been adjusted to the sex distribution of the reference population, and in the remaining subgroup comparisons, results have been adjusted to both the age and sex distributions of the reference population.

Section III of the report examines six selected peri- and postoperative Patient Safety Measures in greater detail. Frequencies of the adverse events, procedures, and diagnoses that make up Anesthesia Reactions and Complications, Postoperative Hemorrhage or Hematoma, Postoperative Metabolic or Physiologic Derangements, Postoperative Sepsis, and Postoperative Wound Dehiscence, are examined.

Appendix A describes in detail the methods behind the MQMS Patient Safety Measures: their rationale, the data sources, the samples and populations, and their specification and calculation. Appendix B contains full results in tabular form. Finally, for comparison purposes, Appendix C displays results from the Stanford/AHRQ researchers’ analysis of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample.

II. RATES OF PATIENT SAFETY MEASURES AT THE OVERALL NATIONAL LEVEL AND FOR SELECTED BENFICIARY SUBGROUPS

Figure II.1 shows rates of the Patient Safety Measures at an overall national level. There is a wide range of frequencies of the measures.

Patient Safety, 1995-2001

Figure II.1. Rates of MQMS Patient Safety Measures for 2000 and 2001 Combined, Overall U.S.

• Rates of the indicators range over several orders of magnitude. The three measures

with the highest rates were Decubitus Ulcers, Postoperative Septicemia, and Postoperative Respiratory Failure, occurring at rates of roughly 27, 13, and 8 events per 1,000 discharges.

• The three measures with the lowest rates, Iatrogenic Pneumothorax, Anesthetic Complications and Reactions, and Foreign Body Left in During Procedure, are many orders of magnitude less common, occurring once only every 1,000, 5,000, and 13,000, discharges, respectively.

• Efforts to track and investigate the more commonly adverse events may have a higher yield than efforts to track the rare events. As discussed in the Introduction, subsequent charts omit Anesthesia Complications and Reactions, and Foreign Body Left in During Procedure because of the difficulty of displaying them on the same scale as the other indicators (tabular results for these two measures are in Appendix B).

• The rate for the MQMS Inpatient Hip Fracture measure is higher than that for the AHRQ Postoperative Hip Fracture measure. This is not surprising, as the MQMS measure includes many discharges at high risk for inpatient hip fracture that were excluded from the AHRQ measure.

• It is difficult to find data on adverse events from hospital care that are comparable to the MQMS results. Most other studies have used different data sources, such as direct clinician observation or medical charts; have included the general hospital population and not just Medicare beneficiaries; have reported rates of all complications and not of individual complications; or have used different denominators to calculate rates, such as events per hospital bed, events per day of catheter insertion, or events per area population.

- Previous estimates of the incidence of decubitus ulcers in general hospital populations have ranged from 27 to 295 per 1,000 (Gerson 1975; Clare and Kadhom 1988).

- A recent study reported incidences of retained instruments and sponges following major surgery of 0.05 to 0.1 per 1,000 inpatient operations (Gawande et al. 2003). Because they used malpractice claims data, the authors noted their results were likely underestimates.

- Morgan et al. (1985) found a rate of 19 falls per 1,000 hospitalized elderly patients. They included all falls, however, and not only those resulting in serious injury. In a study that included all inpatients, and not only Medicare beneficiaries, Bates et al. reported a rate of falls with serious injury of 0.4 per 1,000 discharges.

Figure II.2 shows the strong dependence of several of the rates of patient safety measures on age.

• Rates of Decubitus Ulcer increase sharply with increasing age. The rate in the oldest age group is between and three and four times that in the youngest age group.

• Postoperative Septicemia shows a “U” shaped distribution, with the highest rates in the oldest and youngest age groups, and intermediate rates in the other age groups.

• Both hip fracture indicators show increasing rates with older age.

• Selected Infections due to Medical Care shows an inverse relation with age, with rates decreasing as age increases.

Figure II.3 shows that rates for a number of the patient safety measures also vary substantially between males and females.

Figure II.3. Rates of MQMS Patient Safety Measures for 2000 and 2001 Combined, by Gender

NOTE: Results adjusted to the age distribution of the July 1999 Medicare fee-for-service population.

• Males have consistently worse rates in Postoperative Septicemia, Postoperative Respiratory Failure, and Postoperative Abdominopelvic Wound Dehiscence.

• Martin et al. (2003) studied all hospital septicemia, not just postoperative septicemia, but also found septicemia to be more common among men than women.

• Women have a higher rate for the AHRQ Postoperative Hip Fracture indicator but rates are equal for the MQMS Inpatient Hip Fracture indicator, possibly due to higher risk among the male discharges excluded from the AHRQ measure, but included in the MQMS measure.

• There are regional differences for some of the measures, but there is no consistent pattern across the indicators. Compared to the West and the Midwest, rates of Decubitus Ulcers are higher in the South and Northeast. The South has somewhat higher rates of Postoperative Septicemia and Postoperative Respiratory Failure.

III. ADDITIONAL ANALYSES OF SELECTED PERI- AND POSTOPERATIVE MEASURES

The CMS MQMS Patient Safety Measure Workgroup also recommended simple additional analyses of selected peri- and postoperative measures in order to better understand these measures, and to provide additional support for their face validity. This section shows the frequencies of the constituent complications that make up two of the indicators—Anesthesia Complications and Reactions, and Postoperative Metabolic or Physiologic Derangements—that are constructed by combining several ICD-9-CM codes for specific complications.

In addition, this section also displays the frequencies of the principal procedures and DRGs associated with these two indicators, as well as the indicators Postoperative Hemorrhage or Hematoma, Postoperative Respiratory Failure, Postoperative Septicemia, and Postoperative Abdominal-pelvic Wound Dehiscence. Finally, the section displays the DRGs with the highest rates of the above indicators.

Anesthesia Complications and Reactions

Discharges with these three complications made up roughly 77 percent of all discharges with an anesthetic complication.

• Major Joint and Limb Reattachment Procedures of the Lower Extremity is the most common single DRG, representing 21 percent of the discharges with an anesthetic complication. The largest category (48 percent) is a mixed group of discharges that includes 721 discharges in 137 separate DRGs.

Figure III.3. DRGs with the Ten Highest Rates of Anesthetic Complications and Reactions, Among all Discharges Eligible for That Outcome

• There is a wide range in rates of anesthetic complications, with the highest rate (1.18

per 1,000 discharges) about nine times that of the lowest rate (0.13 per 1,000).

• A wide variety of DRGs are represented among those with the ten highest rates of anesthetic complications, including orthopedic surgeries (back and neck, major joint and limb, and hip and femur procedures), gastrointestinal surgeries (major small and large bowel procedures, laparoscopic cholecystectomy), thoracic surgeries (major chest procedures), and vascular surgeries (extracranial vascular, and other vascular procedures).

• DRGs 468 and 477 (extensive and non-extensive operative procedures unrelated to the principal diagnosis) both identify cases in which patients have undergone operating-room procedures unrelated to the principal diagnosis. Examples of DRG 468 include a patient admitted for pneumonia who suffers a fall and hip fracture, and undergoes hip repair, and a patient admitted for pancreatitis who develops a pulmonary embolus and undergoes interruption of the inferior vena cava.2 DRGs 468 and 477 thus include cases for which unplanned surgery may have been

Postoperative Hemorrhage or Hematoma

Figure III.4. Frequency of Principal Procedures Among Discharges with a Postoperative Hemorrhage or Hematoma (N=14,891)

• Among discharges with a postoperative hemorrhage or hematoma, no one

procedure or group of procedures predominates. The single most common procedure (carotid endarterectomy) makes up only 10 percent of all discharges with this complication. The 64 percent labeled as “remaining dicharges/all other procedures” represents a large number of procedures, each representing less than 2 percent of the total.

3 There is some evidence from the joint QIO/CMS Payment Error Prevention Program

(PEPP), however, that the accuracy of hospital coding for DRGs 468 and 477 may be lower than for other DRGs (OMPRO 2003a; OMPRO 2003b; Healthcare Management Advisors 2003), mainly because of incorrect coding of the principal diagnosis. Thus, some of the operating room procedures under DRGs 468 and 477 may actually have been related to the true principal diagnoses.

Postoperative Physiologic or Metabolic Derangement

Figure III.7. Frequency of Specific Complications Among Discharges with a Postoperative Physiologic or Metabolic Derangement (N=4,272)a

aThe number of postoperative metabolic and physiologic complications (4,272) is somewhat larger than the number of discharges with a postoperative metabolic and physiologic derangements (4,199) because some cases had more than one postoperative metabolic or physiologic derangement.

• Ninety percent of the complications in this measure, which includes both acute

renal failure and acute crises from uncontrolled diabetes, are, in fact, due to acute renal failure (58 percent from nonspecific acute renal failure and 32 percent from acute tubular necrosis). Nearly all of the remaining ten percent of the cases are postoperative metabolic derangements from diabetes.

Figure III.8. Frequency of Principal Procedures Among Discharges with a Postoperative Physiologic or Metabolic Derangement (N=4,199)

• The single most common procedure is kidney transplant, representing 14 percent of

discharges with a postoperative physiologic or metabolic derangement. All other procedures each represent about 6 percent or less of the total, with 58 percent of the total made up of procedures that represent 2 percent each.

• Some of the procedures could possibly be therapeutic in response to renal failure or damage, such as kidney transplant, creation of arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis, and nephroureterectomy, rather than procedures that preceded and caused the complication. However, some of the same procedures could also be causative (such as renal dysfunction following transplantion of a kidney, or operative complications following nephroureterectomy).

• Other procedures seem more likely to be causative, such as those associated with hemodynamic instability, blood loss, or radiographic contrast administration (resection of abdominal aortic aneurysm, angioplasty or atherectomy of non-coronary vessel, other peripheral vascular shunt or bypass, aortocoronary bypass-3 vessels, and total knee replacement)

• Finally, some procedures may be markers for underlying severity of illness-- temporary tracheostomy for prolonged ventilatory dependence and ICU stay, and excisional wound debridement for severe trauma, burns, or soft tissue infection.

Figure III.10. DRGs with the Ten Highest Rates of Postoperative Physiologic or Metabolic Derangement, Among all Discharges Eligible for That Outcome

• Kidney transplant is the DRG with the highest rate by far of postoperative physiologic or metabolic derangement, with a rate (about 80 per 1,000 discharges) that is about 4 times higher than the next highest rate (19 per 1,000 for tracheostomy, and 10 to 20 times higher than the other rates.

• Tracheostomy, Except for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses, the DRG with the next highest rate, again is likely a marker for underlying prolonged ventilatory dependence and critical illness. This DRG is often used for patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation and a protracted ICU stay. These critically ill patients are often susceptible to renal and metabolic problems.

• The remaining DRGs have rates in the 4 to 7 per 1,000 range and appear to represent discharges for conditions with a high risk of acute renal failure.

Postoperative Septicemia

Figure III.13. Frequency of Specific Septicemia Diagnoses Among Discharges with Postoperative Septicemia (N=14,393)

aThe number of postoperative septicemia complications (14,393) is somewhat larger than the number of discharges with postoperative septicemia (14,069) because some cases had more than one postoperative septicemia complication. • Nearly half of discharges with postoperative septicemia were coded as nonspecific

septicemia.

• Thirty-five percent of all discharges with postoperative septicemia, or about three-quarters of cases with a specified bacterial organism, are coded as due to gram positive organisms (staphylococci, streptococci, or pneumococci).

• About 12 percent of all discharges with postoperative septicemia, or about one quarter of cases with a specified bacterial organism, are coded as due to gram negative organisms (gram-negative, E.Coli, Pseudomonas, and Serratia species).

• Using hospital discharge abstract data from 2000 to study all cases of hospital sepsis (not just postoperative cases) Martin et al. (2003) found gram-positive bacteria to be the predominant organisms, representing slightly over half of cases with an identified pathogen. Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 38 percent of cases with an identified pathogen.

• Martin et al. (2003) validated a small sample of cases with a diagnosis of sepsis in hospital discharge abstract data against medical record data. They found the discharge diagnosis to be a reasonably accurate way of identifying cases with chart confirmed sepsis. Martin et al.’s results on the accuracy of a discharge diagnosis of sepsis are also similar to earlier studies.

Appendix A: MQMS Patient Safety Measure Specifications and Methods

The MQMS Patient Safety Measures are a subset of the Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) developed by Stanford University and AHRQ (McDonald et al. 2002). A CMS MQMS Patient Safety Measure workgroup (including several clinicians) reviewed the 20 PSIs and selected 12 on the basis of face validity and relevance to Medicare beneficiaries. The panel’s reasons for not selecting the other eight PSIs are listed in Table A.1 The panel felt, however, that some of the PSI measures not included this year might be appropriate for future MQMS Patient Safety reports after additional analysis.

A ninth PSI, Transfusion Reaction, was ultimately also not included in the MQMS Patient Safety Report because the number of events was too small. There were only 115 discharges with this indicator among 22,100,608 discharges in 2000 and 2001, for a rate of 0.005 events per 1,000 discharges.

CMS panelists also recommended a number of additional analyses. One of the these was the creation of a modified version of the AHRQ postoperative hip fracture indicator that would eliminate most of the exclusions of the original AHRQ indicator. The CMS panelists’ discussed many of the same issues as had the Stanford/AHRQ panelists (AHRQ 2002)—whether medical discharges should be included, whether some in-hospital falls and hip fractures are truly non-preventable, and whether patients at higher risk for hip fracture should be excluded.

The consensus of the CMS panelists was that patients with higher risks for hip fracture should prompt increased vigilance by hospital staff and should therefore not be excluded. They also felt the cost of including “false-positive” cases by not excluding medical discharges and cases that may have had a fracture on admission was worth the gain of identifying additional cases of in-hospital fracture. A new MQMS Inpatient Hip Fracture measure was therefore constructed, in which the following discharges excluded by the original AHRQ indicator were now included—[medical discharges], discharges in the major diagnostic category of musculoskeletal and connective tissue disease (MDC 8), and discharges with principal diagnoses codes for [seizure], [syncope], [coma], [cardiac arrest], [poisoning], [trauma], [delirium and other psychoses], [anoxic brain injury], [metastatic cancer], [lymphoid malignancy], [bone malignancy], and [self-inflicted injury].4

The CMS panelists also wished to see the component diagnoses, procedures, and types of admissions that made up several of the postoperative indicators. The recommended pie charts and frequency counts are presented in Section III of the body of the report and in Tables B.9 through B.25 in Appendix B.

The MQMS Patient Safety Measures calculated in this report are based on the "hospital-level" PSIs developed by the Stanford/AHRQ researchers (as opposed to the six “area-level” PSIs that they also developed).5 Hospital-level PSIs use only complications listed in the secondary diagnosis

4 Items in bold and brackets are specified in the ICD-9-CM and DRG listings in the back of this Appendix.

5 The six Stanford/AHRQ area-level PSIs are: (1) Foreign Body Left in During Procedure, (2) Iatrogenic Pneumothorax, (3) Infection due to Medical Care, (4) Accidental Puncture or Laceration (one of the Stanford/AHRQ PSIs not included among the MQMS Patient Safety Measures--see below), (5) Transfusion Reaction, and (6) Postoperative Wound Dehiscence.

codes, and are thus meant to capture adverse events that occur during the same hospital stay. Area-level PSIs use exactly the same ICD-9-CM codes as the hospital-level PSIs, but include complications listed in any coding position (including the principal diagnosis code). They are thus meant to also capture hospitalizations for complications resulting either from care received during a previous hospital stay but not detected until after discharge, or to care received in the outpatient setting. Future MQMS Patient Safety reports may include area-level measures.

Table A.1. Stanford/AHRQ PSIs Not Included in the Current MQMS Patient Safety Report Name of Stanford AHRQ/PSI Consensus of CMS MQMS Patient Safety

Measure Workgroup Death in Low Mortality Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs)

The low mortality DRGs were identified through AHRQ's HCUP data, which include many non-Medicare patients. Work group members recommended redefining the low mortality DRGs based on Medicare data, after which this measure might be appropriate to include in future MQMS Patient Safety reports.

Failure to Rescue The workgroup members were uncertain about the face validity of this measure, and noted that the AHRQ panelists had similar concerns. Like the AHRQ panelists, the CMS workgroup members also worried that temporal and regional practice variations in the use of DNR orders might bias results. Furthermore, AHRQ recently recommended excluding patients over age 75 from this measure (AHRQ 2003).

Accidental Puncture or Laceration The workgroup members were concerned about the face validity and specificity (false-positive rate) of this measure. They felt that coding for this complication varies widely between surgeons, and that many identified cases would probably have no problem with patient safety.

Postoperative Pulmonary Embolism or Deep Venous Thrombosis

The workgroup members were concerned about the sensitivity (false negative rate) of this outcome, as well as bias from temporal and regional variations in hospital length of stay. The workgroup suggested exploring a 30-day version or area-level version of this measure, for possible inclusion in future versions of the MQMS Patient Safety report.

Birth Trauma—Injury to Neonate Obstetric and neonatal care are not relevant to the vast majority of Medicare beneficiaries.

Appendix A: MQMS Patient Safety Measure Specifications and Methods

The following tables describe the specifications of the 12 Patient Safety Measures included in this report. Bold terms in square brackets (for example, [surgical] discharges) refer to specified sets of ICD-9-CM or DRG codes in the large list of codes in the back of this appendix.

Table A.2 Specifications for MQMS Patient Safety Measures (from McDonald et al. 2002)

Patient Safety Measure 1. Anesthesia Reactions and Complications.

Rationale This measure includes adverse reactions to anesthetic drugs and misplacement of breathing tubes (endotracheal tubes) for general anesthesia. High rates of such events may indicate problems with unsafe care.

Population Beneficiaries eligible for Medicare in January of calendar years 2000 and 2001, enrolled in Part A for the full year, and not enrolled in Medicare managed care at any point in the year. Beneficiaries who died during either calendar year but who would have otherwise qualified are included.

Computation Numerator: Discharges with ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes for [anesthesia complications] in any secondary diagnosis field.

Denominator: All [surgical] discharges. Rates are expressed in events per 1,000 discharges.

Data Sources MedPAR File Denominator File CMS Cross-Reference File

Exclusions Missing or invalid values for state, sex, race, Medicare Status

Discharges from all hospitals other than short-stay hospitals

Duplicate records

Discharges from stand-alone emergency rooms

Discharges with invalid procedure codes

Discharges for Medicare beneficiaries whose Health Insurance Claim Number (HICNO) does not have a match in CMS’s Cross-Reference File

Overlapping beneficiary acute-care, short-stay hospital claims

Discharges with codes for poisoning due to anesthetics [E855.1, 968.1-4, 968.7] AND any diagnosis code for [active drug dependence], [active nondependent abuse of drugs], or [self- inflicted injury]

Adjustment For subgroup comparisons, rates are age/sex adjusted using 18 age/sex groups and the Medicare Part A FFS population as of July 1, 1999 as the standard population. There are two subgroups that are missing some of the age groups-Aged Only, which has no cases less than age 65, and Disabled Only, which has no cases over age 65. Applying weights from the standard population to these subgroups would result in misleadingly low rates, since the weights to not add up to one because of the missing age cells. The rates of these two subgroups have been “reinflated” by dividing by the proportions in the standard population of the corresponding age groups. Thus, age-sex adjusted rates for the Aged Only subgroup have been divided by the proportion of those over age 65 in the standard population (0.8453), and age-sex adjusted rates for the Disabled Only subgroup have been divided by the proportion of those under age 65 (0.1547).

Period 2000-2001

Stratifiers Age (0-54, 55-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80-84, 85-89, 90-94,95+) on July 1 of the reference year.

* The Medicare data do not record true dual enrollment status but only whether a state Medicaid program pays the beneficiary’s Medicare premiums, co-pays, and deductibles. The payment of these Medicare expenses by Medicaid does not always translate into full Medicaid coverage. Nevertheless, the buy-in indicator in the Medicare data is a reasonably accurate indicator of beneficiary poverty.

Patient Safety Measure 8. MQMS Inpatient Hip Fracture

Rationale Elderly patients are prone to confusion and agitation during hospitalization. Good nursing and medical care can prevent injuries from such problems. A high rate of accidental falls with severe injury (hip fracture) may indicate problems with care.

Population Beneficiaries eligible for Medicare in January of calendar years 2000 and 2001, enrolled in Part A for the full year, and not enrolled in Medicare managed care at any point in the year. Beneficiaries who died during either calendar year but who would have otherwise qualified are included.

Computation Numerator: Discharges with ICD-9-CM code for [hip fracture] in any secondary diagnosis.

Denominator: All [medical] and [surgical] discharges. Rates are expressed in events per 1,000 discharges

Data Sources MedPAR File Denominator File CMS Cross-Reference File

Exclusions Patients 17 years of age and younger.

Missing or invalid values for state, sex, race, Medicare Status

Discharges from all hospitals other than short-stay hospitals

Duplicate records

Discharges from stand-alone emergency rooms

Discharges with invalid procedure codes

Discharges for Medicare beneficiaries whose Health Insurance Claim Number (HICNO) does not have a match in CMS’s Cross-Reference File

Overlapping beneficiary acute-care, short-stay hospital claims

Adjustment For subgroup comparisons, rates are age/sex adjusted using 18 age/sex groups and the Medicare Part A FFS population as of July 1, 1999 as the standard population. There are two subgroups that are missing some of the age groups-Aged Only, which has no cases less than age 65, and Disabled Only, which has no cases over age 65. Applying weights from the standard population to these subgroups would result in misleadingly low rates, since the weights to not add up to one because of the missing age cells. The rates of these two subgroups have been “reinflated” by dividing by the proportions in the standard population of the corresponding age groups. Thus, age-sex adjusted rates for the Aged Only subgroup have been divided by the proportion of those over age 65 in the standard population (0.8453), and age-sex adjusted rates for the Disabled Only subgroup have been divided by the proportion of those under age 65 (0.1547).

Period 2000-2001
