- Annual funnel plots classify ICUs inside control limits as in control and those outside as potential high or low outliers. — Mortality differences between ICUs that are regarded as ‘in control’: a longitudinal register-based study in the Netherlands, 2013–2023
- Failure to reject a true SMR of 1.00 does not prove that an ICU performs equally to other ICUs. — Mortality differences between ICUs that are regarded as ‘in control’: a longitudinal register-based study in the Netherlands, 2013–2023
- Wider control limits reduce false-positive outlier labelling but also reduce sensitivity to persistent differences. — Mortality differences between ICUs that are regarded as ‘in control’: a longitudinal register-based study in the Netherlands, 2013–2023
- Conservative 99.8% limits with overdispersion adjustment may leave ICUs with repeated moderate excess mortality unflagged. — Mortality differences between ICUs that are regarded as ‘in control’: a longitudinal register-based study in the Netherlands, 2013–2023
