Using Hospital In-Patient Enquiry (HIPE) data (Department of Health and Social Security and Office of Population Censuses and Surveys, 1974), the relationship between mortality and bed usage was examined for a number of disease categories within 10 chapters of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) (World Health Organisation, 1967). There was found to be significant correlation within six chapters for males and within six chapters for females. The use of standardised mortality ratios (SMRs) in the formula of the Resource Allocation Working Party (RAWP) (Department of Health and Social Security, 1976) for certain chapters where no correlation could be demonstrated is questioned. It is suggested that separate SMRs for urinary disease and genital disease should be used and that the SMRs for Chapter XVII (accidents, poisoning, and violence) should either be omitted from the formula or determined separately for subdivisions of the chapter.
利用医院住院病人查询（HIPE）数据（卫生和社会保障部以及人口普查与调查办公室，1974年），针对《国际疾病分类》（ICD）（世界卫生组织，1967年）10个章节中的若干疾病类别，研究了死亡率与床位使用之间的关系。结果发现，男性在六个章节中、女性在六个章节中存在显著相关性。有人对资源分配工作小组（RAWP）公式（卫生和社会保障部，1976年）中在某些无法证明存在相关性的章节使用标准化死亡率（SMR）提出质疑。建议针对泌尿系统疾病和生殖系统疾病使用单独的SMR，并且第十七章（事故、中毒和暴力）的SMR要么从公式中省略，要么针对该章的细分内容单独确定。
