Results The adjusted value of fatality rate for the heart physicians is CFR≥1, and that of cure rate for the urology surgeons is CFR≤1. A trial assessment is made based on these figures, and a ranking is achieved on the diagnosis and treatment outcomes of the clinical medicine specialties in these three hospitals as a result.
