A metaanalysis Michael A Borger, MD, Stephen E Fremes, MD, Richard D Weisel, MD, Gideon Cohen, MD, Vivek Rao, MD, PhD, Thomas F Lindsay, MD, C.David Naylor, MD, DPhil The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 68, Issue 1, Pages 14-20 (July 1999) DOI: 10.1016/S0003-4975(99)00474-9
Fig 1 Relative risks (vertical lines) ± 95% confidence intervals (horizontal lines) for stroke in combined versus staged coronary artery bypass grafting/carotid endarterectomy. Values greater than 1.0 indicate increased risk for combined procedures. Note that the x-axis is logarithmic. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1999 68, 14-20DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)00474-9)
Fig 2 Relative risks (vertical lines) ± 95% confidence intervals (horizontal lines) for death in combined versus staged coronary artery bypass grafting/carotid endarterectomy. Values greater than 1.0 indicate increased risk for combined procedures. Note that the x-axis is logarithmic. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1999 68, 14-20DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)00474-9)
