GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:confrontación

Medical - Medical: Cardiology
Spanish term or phrase: confrontación
I'm translating an article on heart disease and mortality after hospital discharge.

The full sentence is "Se obtuvieron datos de la mortalidad al año por confrontación de base hospitalaria con el índice nacional de defunciones, en la totalidad de los pacientes".

What exactly does "confrontación" mean here? Do the authors mean, "We obtained mortality data at one year for all patients after hospitalization from the national death index."?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
