Specialist note IQTIG It should be noted that this computational result may not be influenced exclusively by the respective institution. For example, the severity of illnesses or concomitant diseases of the patients have an impact on the result. The reference range indicates the range in which the results of an indicator are assessed as normal. A facility with a result outside the reference range is initially computationally conspicuous, which usually results in an analysis in the structured dialog. It should be noted that an indicator result outside the reference range is not synonymous with a poor quality of the facility in the quality aspect considered here. The deviation can also e.g. be traceable to incorrect documentation or to individual cases. Quality is assessed in the context of the structured dialogue with the institutions. Due to adjustments to the QS filter, the results of this quality indicator can only be compared to the previous year's results to a limited extent. Further information on the adjustments made can be found in the description of the quality indicators at the following link: https://iqtig.org/qs-verfahren/.

Specialist note IQTIG This transparency indicator is part of the index indicator Quality index of preterm delivery. This is a transparency measure. Transparency indicators do not meet the formal criteria of a quality indicator because they have no reference area and therefore do not trigger a structured dialogue. The results are independent and are not directly linked to a quality indicator. However, transparency indicators indicate essential quality aspects of the supply process and thus increase transparency and the information content.

This transparency indicator is a risk-adjusted transparency indicator. A risk adjustment compensates for the different composition of the patient groups from different institutions. This leads to a fairer comparison because there are patient-related risk factors (such as comorbidities) that systematically influence the result without an institution being responsible for e.g. the following more frequent complications can be attributed to it. For example, the result of the transparency index of a facility with many high-risk cases can be compared more statistically with the result of a facility with many low-risk cases. The risk factors are compiled from patient characteristics that were classified as risk-relevant as part of the development of the transparency indicators and which can be practically documented. Due to adjustments to the QS filter, the results of this transparency indicator can only be compared to the previous year's results to a limited extent.

Specialist note IQTIG Although key figures represent quality, their results do not enable a direct assessment of the quality of care (due to the lack of a reference range) and they are also not suitable for direct quality comparisons (due to the lack of mathematical adjustment). However, they are usually published in direct connection with a quality indicator, the results of which are supplemented by the key figures (imputed and supplementary key figures). They therefore contribute to increasing the comprehensibility of the quality results. The transparency indicators, which are to be distinguished from these, represent aspects of care for which there are no quality indicators, but which are nevertheless important for presenting the quality of care.

Specialist note IQTIG This transparency indicator is part of the index indicator Quality index of preterm delivery. This is a transparency measure. Transparency indicators do not meet the formal criteria of a quality indicator because they have no reference area and therefore do not trigger a structured dialogue. The results are independent and are not directly linked to a quality indicator. However, transparency indicators indicate essential quality aspects of the supply process and thus increase transparency and the information content. More information on the key figure concept can be found in the following link: https://www.g-ba.de/downloads/39-261-3380/2018-06-21_Qb-R_Freigabe-IQTIG-Bericht_Kennzahlen_inkl-Anlagen.pdf. This transparency indicator is a risk-adjusted transparency indicator. A risk adjustment compensates for the different composition of the patient groups from different institutions. This leads to a fairer comparison because there are patient-related risk factors (such as comorbidities) that systematically influence the result without an institution being responsible for e.g. the following more frequent complications can be attributed to it. For example, the result of the transparency index of a facility with many high-risk cases can be compared more statistically with the result of a facility with many low-risk cases. The risk factors are compiled from patient characteristics that were classified as risk-relevant as part of the development of the transparency indicators and which can be practically documented. Due to adjustments to the QS filter, the results of this transparency indicator can only be compared to the previous year's results to a limited extent. Further information on the adjustments made can be found in the description of the respective transparency key figure at the following link: https://iqtig.org/qs-verfahren/.

Specialist note IQTIG The aim of risk adjustment is to balance out the different patient structures in different facilities. Ideally, this leads to a fair comparison of the different facilities, as patients have individual risk factors (such as concomitant diseases) that systematically influence the quality result, without one facility being responsible for more frequent complications, for example. With the help of risk adjustment, the quality result of a facility with many high-risk cases, for example, can be statistically compared more fairly with the quality result of a facility with many low-risk cases. Further information on risk adjustment can be found at the following link: https://iqtig.org/das-iqtig/wie-wir-arbeiten/grundlagen/standard-titel/ The reference range indicates the results at which a facility can be assumed to provide good quality of care, although deviations are possible. The reference range thus defines a benchmark for the evaluation of facilities. A result outside the reference range is initially considered conspicuous. This usually results in an analysis by means of a statement procedure. It should be noted that a quality result outside the reference range is not synonymous with a lack of quality of the facility in the quality aspect under consideration here. The deviation may also be due, for example, to incorrect documentation, special medical features of the patient population or individual cases. The assessment of quality is carried out within the framework of the defined procedure in the statement procedure. Further information on reference areas can be found at the following link: https://iqtig.org/das-iqtig/wie-wir-arbeiten/grundlagen/standard- titel/ Due to adjustments to the calculation rule or inclusion/exclusion criteria for the cases to be documented in the QA procedure, the quality result is only comparable with the previous year's results to a limited extent. Further information on the adjustments made can be found in the description of the quality indicators and key figures at the following link: https://iqtig.org/qs-verfahren/. Prematurity is the most important cause of morbidity and mortality in childhood (Swamy et al. 2008, [Anonymous] 2008). For preterm infants between 24+0 and 32+0 weeks of gestation or with a birth weight below 1,500 g, it is often not possible to reliably determine the quality of outcome due to the low prevalence, because random fluctuations are very pronounced (Dimick et al. 2004, Heller 2008).

Specialist note IQTIG Although indicators represent quality, their results do not allow a direct assessment of the quality of care (due to the lack of a reference range) and they are not suitable for direct quality comparisons (due to the lack of mathematical adjustment). However, they are usually published in direct connection with a quality indicator, the results of which are supplemented by the indicator values (imputed and supplementary indicators). They thus contribute to an increase in the comprehensibility of the quality results. The transparency indicators, which are to be distinguished from these, represent aspects of care for which there are no quality indicators, but which are nevertheless important for presenting the quality of care.
