x is the number of procedures in which the quality indicator, arterial outlet temperature ≤37°C, 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 combined sites 4 and 7.
