Fig Graphic display of summary measures of the excess nonmaturation risk (reported in %) and relative nonmaturation risk (value reported is divided by 10) with 95% confidence intervals, and sensitivity (%) and specificity (%) measures for a preoperative clinical prediction rule (pre-Clin) and preoperative hemodynamic risk stratification (pre-HRS) and postoperative hemodynamic risk stratification (post-HRS) methods. On average, post-HRS stratifies risk best (higher excess risk and relative risk) and has a better discriminative ability (higher sensitivity and specificity) compared with the clinical prediction rule and pre-HRS.
