摘要：

Mortality tables of the U.S. Renal Data System allow description of national mortality rates among prevalent dialysis patients in five-year age groups and four major categories of causes of ESRD for Black and White patients. Based on these tables derived from over 50,000 deaths in dialysis patients during 1987 to 1989 a methodology is described that allows comparison of local or regional mortality rates to national rates with determination of a standardized mortality ratio and statistical significance. Since this methodology adjusts for patient age, race and cause of ESRD, it can serve as a useful tool for dialysis research and local quality assurance.
