Ratio of the actual number to the previously expected number of patients suffering from a pressure sore (decubitus) during hospitalisation (patients in whom pressure caused a reddening of the skin that could not be pushed away but the skin was still intact (degree of decubitus/ category 1) were not considered - individual risks of the patients were taken into account)

Risk adjustment aims to compensate for the different patient structures in different facilities. Ideally, this leads to a fair comparison of the different facilities, since patients have individual risk factors (such as concomitant diseases) that systematically influence the quality outcome, without one facility being held responsible for, for example, more frequent complications as a result. With the help of risk adjustment, the quality outcome of, for example, a facility with many high-risk cases can be statistically compared more fairly with the quality outcome of a facility with many low-risk cases. More information on risk adjustment can be found at the following link: https://iqtig.org/das-iqtig/grundlagen/methodische-grundlagen. 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 sets a benchmark for the assessment of facilities. A result outside the reference range is initially considered conspicuous. This usually entails 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 considered here. The deviation can also be due, for example, to faulty documentation, medical specificity of the patient collective or individual cases. The assessment of quality is carried out within the framework of the defined procedure in the comments procedure.

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.

More information on indicators can be found at the following link: https://iqtig.org/veroeffentlichungen/kennzahlenkonzept. According to current knowledge, the classification of a pressure ulcer can be done according to the WHO (DIMDI) as well as according to NPUP/EPUAP. The classification according to EPUAP/NPUAP describes the categories Cannot be assigned to a category/stage: depth unknown and Suspected deep tissue damage: Depth unknown. Therefore, suspected deep tissue damage may have been documented as pressure ulcer, stage unspecified.
Patients in whom a pressure sore (decubitus) developed in at least one place during their stay in hospital: The pressure sore reached down to the muscles, bones or joints and resulted in the mortification of muscles, bones or supporting structures (e.g. tendons or joint capsules) (decubitus grade/ category 4)

It should be noted that this computational result may not be influenced exclusively by the respective institution. So e.g. the disease severity or concomitant diseases of the patients have an influence 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.
