The emphasis on outcomes measurement requires that casemix is considered in any comparative studies. In 1996 the Intercollegiate Working Party for Stroke agreed a minimum data set to measure the severity of casemix in stroke. The reasons for its development, the evidence base supporting the items included and the possible uses of the data set are described. It is currently being evaluated in national outcome and process audits to be reported at a later date.
对结果测量的重视要求在任何比较研究中都要考虑病例组合。1996年,校际中风工作组商定了一个最小数据集,用于测量中风病例组合的严重程度。文中描述了其开发原因、支持所包含项目的证据基础以及该数据集的可能用途。目前正在国家结果和过程审计中对其进行评估,评估结果将在稍后报告。
