内容説明
The first edition of the "EC Atlas of Avoidable Death" was published in 1988. It described mortality from 17 conditions in 10 countries in the period 1974-78. This second edition describes avoidable mortality between 1974-78 and 1980-84. Spain and Portugal are now included. There is growing interest in evaluating and monitoring health services. Progress in the development of indicators of the quality and outcome of health care has lagged behind that of measures of process and efficiency. The Atlas is an important step towards establishing outcome indicators to monitor health service performance that are applicable nationally and internationally. The conditions chosen were considered by all collaborating researchers to be relevant to al the EC member countries and to reflect important aspects of ehalth care provision. The Atlas illustrates wide variation in mortality rates, but due to the complexity of the possible factors involved, no attempt has been made to interpret the patterns involved or to draw conclusions.
It is hoped that the Atlas will stimulate countries to initiate detailed enquires into the functioning of health services and should pave the way for future collaboration between health services researchers. This second edition allows the comparison of trends in mortality over time.

内容説明
The first volume of the second edition of the EC atlas of "Avoidable Death" was published in 1991. It described mortality from 17 conditions in 12 EC countries over the period 1980-1984, and compared rates with the period covered by edition 1, 1974-1978. This second volume describes mortality in 1980-1984 for a further 8 conditions from which death should be avoidable given appropriate and timely medical intervention. This extension of the number of conditions studied, of which half are cancers, increases the number of indicators of quality of health care. They are applicable both nationaly and internationally. The new conditions chosen are relevant to all the EC member countries and reflect important aspects of health care provision. The atlas illustrates variation in mortality rates, but due to the complexity of the possible factors involved, no attempt has been made to interpret the patterns apparent or to draw conclusions.
It is hoped that this second volume of the atlas, individually or together with the first, will provide a comprehensive statistical provile of health service delivery that will stimulate countries to initiate detailed enquiries into the functioning of health services. Future collaboration between health services researchers is hoped for. As more diseases become curable or preventable, so the reasons for differing efficiency can be highlighted so that the better systems may be emulated.
