HSMR 2024 Methodological report

Statistics Netherlands has calculated The Hospital Standardised Mortality Ratios (HSMRs) for Dutch hospitals for the period 2022-2024. This report describes the methods that were used.

In chapter 2 the changes compared to previous HSMR calculations are described. Chapter 3 describes the HSMR model methods and in chapter 4 the quality of the present HSMR model is evaluated.

Excel file ‘Statistical significance of covariates HSMR 2024 model’ presents the statistical significance (95% confidence) of the covariates for the 158 logistic regressions.

Excel file ‘Classification of variables HSMR 2024’ contains the classifications used for the diagnosis groups, severity of main diagnosis, socio-economic status and source of admission.

Excel file ‘Coefficients HSMR 2024’ contains the coefficients and standard errors of the HSMR model by diagnosis group.

HSMR 2024 outcomes are published by the hospitals (31 December 2025 at the latest), on the websites of the individual hospitals.
