Improving the performance of risk-adjusted mortality modeling for colorectal cancer surgery by combining claims data and clinical data.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of risk-adjusted mortality models for colorectal cancer surgery. ⋯ The addition of clinical data to claims data efficiently enhances the performance of the risk-adjusted postoperative mortality models in colorectal cancer surgery. We recommended that the performance of models should be evaluated through both discrimination and calibration.
