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.
