Thirty Days Mortality is the fraction of patients that died within 30 days from the date of surgery or before date of discharge from a hospital (even if it was more than 30 days from 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 or the date of death is less or equal to the date of discharge.
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.
