How do you calculate post operative death rate?
The postoperative death rate is calculated by dividing the number of deaths that occur within a specified time frame after surgery by the total number of surgical procedures performed during that same period. This ratio is then multiplied by 100 to express it as a percentage. For example, if there were 5 deaths following 500 surgeries, the postoperative death rate would be (5/500) * 100, resulting in a 1% death rate. It's important to specify the time frame (e.g., 30 days, 90 days) for clarity in reporting.
