What to look for

Which numbers matter most when choosing — in plain language

  • For a planned procedure, volume matters: hospitals that do a procedure often tend to have better results. Check the discharge counts below.
  • Complication and 30-day death rates show how patients actually fared — lower is better, and "vs national" tells you how this hospital compares.
  • Infection rates (the SIR figures) flag how well the hospital prevents hospital-acquired infections; 1.0 is the national baseline.
  • The overall star rating is a useful summary, but the specific measure that matches your reason for going matters more.
