Mortality within 30 Days of Hospital Admission for Stroke (CCGOIS 1.5)

A dataset of casemix-adjusted standardised mortality ratios for patients with a known stroke type who die within 30 days of hospital admission. The data is provided by the Government Digital Service and was last updated in March 2017, with a next version due in December 2017. It is available in EXCEL XLS and CSV formats under the UK Open Government Licence.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking hospital performance based on casemix-adjusted mortality rates for stroke.
• Analyzing trends in short-term stroke outcomes based on the 30-day mortality metric.
• Researching the impact of stroke type on early mortality following hospital admission.

Strengths

• Data is casemix-adjusted, which likely accounts for patient demographics and severity.
• Focuses on a specific, clinically relevant outcome measure (30-day post-admission mortality).
• Available under the permissive Open Government Licence for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The last update was in March 2017, and the planned December 2017 update may not have occurred.
