Answer 1

Anesthesia death rate = (2/3250)*100% = 0.06 %

Average length of stay for adults and children for the month of May = 879 / 182 = 4.8 days

Death rate for Dr. Smith = (4/1268)*100 = 0.32

Death rate for Dr. Martin = (1/632)*100 = 0.16

Death rate for Dr. Adams =( 2/257 )*100= 0.78

Since the post operative death rate for Dr Martin is lowest , Dr martin is the most successful surgeon .

Cancer mortality rate =( 657231 / 435437000 )*100000 150.9 = 151

net death rate = ((11-4) / (278-4))*100 = 2.55
