TL;DR

This study used chart-abstracted data to define and predict adverse events that occurred after bypass surgery in Medicare patients, and found MedisGroups to have a high inter-rater reliability, comparable to that of APACHE II and diagnostic-related groups.

Abstract

Severity of illness at admission has modest predictive power with respect to adverse-event occurrence in Medicare patients who undergo bypass surgery.
