Abstract Background The Risk Stratification Index and the Hierarchical Condition Categories
model baseline risk using comorbidities and procedures. The Hierarchical Condition
categories are rederived yearly, whereas the Risk Stratification Index has not been

contemporaneous Hierarchical Condition Categories. Methods The authors reimplemented …
