Quality of Care Index for orofacial clefts in every country, 1990 to 2019

Yearly Quality of Care Index (QCI) scores for orofacial clefts in 195 countries and territories, the full country panel of the analysis that clefts_qci samples. 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. World regions, WHO regions, World Bank income groups and SDI groups in the published panel are left out.
