Yearly Quality of Care Index (QCI) scores for orofacial clefts in fifteen countries. The QCI is a composite of four secondary indices derived from Global Burden of Disease estimates and summarized by principal component analysis, rescaled to run from 0 to 100, where higher is better care.
Format
A data frame with 450 rows and 5 columns:
- country
Country name.
- iso
ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code, lower case.
- region
World region, a factor with five levels.
- year
Year, 1990 to 2019.
- qci
Quality of Care Index, 0 to 100.

Details
The published analysis covers every country; the fifteen here were chosen
to span continents, to cover a wide range of scores and to include several
changes of rank over the period, which makes the set a useful example for
ggrace(). Country names are shortened for plotting, and iso matches the
codes race_flags() uses.
