Expected Complication Rate Index
2014
ECRI, the Expected Complication Rate Index, compares the observed complication rate against the expected complication rate, risk-adjusted for patient-specific characteristics.
An index of 1.0 indicates an observed complication rate exactly equal to the expected complication rate. An index less than 1.0 indicates a complication rate lower than expected, and an index greater than 1.0 indicates a complication rate greater than expected.
