x is the number of procedures in which the quality indicator, blood glucose concentration ≥4 or ≤10 mmol/L, occurs, d is the number of eligible procedures at each site, APF is the adjusted performance factor, and rank is the ranking of performance from best to worst for the QI based upon the APF. The benchmark calculation combines the QI for sites 1 and 2, so that the benchmark was represented by at least 10% of the eligible procedures.
