Data

Thirty Days Mortality is the fraction of patients that died within 30 days from the date of surgery.

For a single patient, thirty days mortality can be true or false. Condition for true is:

Patient died and was operated not earlier than 30 days before death.

Example of patient history with true:

  • 2000-01-01 birth
  • 2000-01-15 operation 1
  • 2000-02-12 operation 2
  • 2000-03-01 death

Even though the first (main) operation was more than 30 days before patient's death, there exists a second (probably trivial) operation after which the patient deceased.
