<i>Sentinel Amenable Mortality</i>: A New Way to Assess the Quality of Healthcare by Examining Causes of Premature Death for Which Highly Efficacious Medical Interventions Are Available

<div>Evolution of age-adjusted amenable mortality rate by efficacy group and sex. United States and Spain, 1984-2004. High efficacy: amenable causes with medical interventions of<i> high efficacy </i>(G1); low efficacy: amenable causes with medical interventions of<i> low efficacy (</i>G2); and medium efficacy: uncertain level of efficacy but priority given to the first (G1/G2 or G2/G1). Three-way categories were based exclusively on the literature review.</div>
