Inpatient Mortality Rate for CABG

From Q2 2005 to Q2 2006, Strong Memorial Hospital's mortality rate for CABG was 1.2%.

The mortality rate (measured as a percentage) provides general information about the quality of care delivery, and can be an important quality indicator. However, some hospitals care for patients with a greater severity of illness and therefore may have a higher mortality rate.

According to the most recent national data from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons™ (STS) National Database, the mortality rate for isolated CABG procedures in 2006 was 2% (STS National Database).
