Fig 1 Bar chart reveals similar rates of 30-day readmission for low-, moderate-, and high-risk categories in the derivation and validation data sets. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2013 57, 1481-1488DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2012.11.074) Copyright © 2013 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
Fig 2 A, The observed vs expected rate of readmission for the derivation data set. The data points represent low-, medium-, and high-risk groups. B, The observed vs expected rate of readmission for the validation data set. The data points represent low-, medium-, and high-risk groups.

Fig 3 Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrate similar rates of (A) primary patency, (B) assisted primary patency, and (C) secondary patency for the readmitted vs non-readmitted groups in the derivation set. D, The limb salvage rate was significantly lower in the readmitted group. SE, Standard error.
