Therefore the impact of mortality on the calculations of cost is difficult to interpret.
Such studies could also directly assess the impact of mortality on the age-specific estimates.
Also, these authors did not explore the possible impact of mortality in their simulations.
The impact of mortality and LOS in the POU of patients with MI undergoing MR surgery remains controversial.
However, because the impact was negligible compared with the impact of mortality, chronic bronchitis, and stroke, we did not include this outcome.
Before 1992 (during the civil war), the main impact of mortality was on children below 5 years of age, including still births, accounting for 58% of all deaths.
The impact of mortality within 12 months of referral and how its effects were taken into account requires separate consideration and is discussed later.
This study aimed to assess the impact of mortality amenable to health policy and health care on increasing income disparities in life expectancy in 1996-2007 in Finland.
To avoid competing risks (impact of mortality on LOS), only patients who survived at least 30 days were included in the regression analyses.
First, vital status was accurately and completely ascertained in contrast to most programs [ 27, 34], thus limiting the impact of mortality misclassification.
