Fig 1 Mortality rate by priority group. Mortality in the imperative group was three times higher than in the urgent group and five times higher than in the routine group (p < 0.001). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2004 77, 769-774DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2003.05.007)
Fig 2 Risk ratio for mortality in relation to time since acceptance. The risk increases 11% each month (p = 0.02). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2004 77, 769-774DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2003.05.007)
Fig 3 Mortality rate on the waiting list related to Cleveland Clinic risk score. The risk of death increases 18% for every step in the score (p < 0.01). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2004 77, 769-774DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2003.05.007)
