Dear Allstat,
I was comparing the results of applying direct and indirect standardisation to the rate, Number of readmissions / Number of admissions. I would be grateful if someone could help me with this:
1. Can I apply direct standardisation to a rate not based on population like the one mentioned?
2. If so, should I standardise the rate or the number of readmission and admissions and then calculate the rate?
Many thanks
Kind regards
Jorge
