Comparison of hospital observed-to-expected (O/E) ratios calculated using models with and without adjustment for new patient factors. The O/E mortality ratio was calculated as O/E = (observed number of deaths)/(expected number of deaths) for each hospital using a model without patient factors and using a model that included patient factors (final model). Perfect agreement is represented by the 45-degree line.
