Fig. 2 Observed versus expected mortality rates within groups of patients with similar predicted probabilities of death constructed for PCCC (A) and hospital discharge (B) data sets. Solid lines were fitted with weighted linear regression; dashed lines represent ideal case in which observed and expected rates are equal.
