DAOH90 captured survival and hospital use in a way that individual outcomes did not. Days alive and out of hospital combines survival and time outside hospital into a single continuous outcome measure. DAOH90 was preferred because it was timely and captured nearly all index-admission care episodes. DAOH30 was less useful for capturing the full index admission because many continuous care episodes extended beyond 30 days. Patients who died during a DAOH follow-up window were assigned a DAOH value of zero. DAOH was calculated at 30, 90, 180, and 365 days after burr-hole drainage.
