Figure 1 Comparison of risk-adjusted observed/expected (O/E) ratios for (A) overall morbidity, (B) serious morbidity, and (C) mortality after emergency general surgery procedures at 198 ACS NSQIP hospitals. The high and low outlier legend on this figure refers to the color rendition. Outlier status, however, is partially redundant with location; low outliers tend toward the left portion of the plots and high outliers tend toward the right. (Appendix 2, online only.)
