3 Fig 2 Mortality in transfused vs nontransfused patients within groups matched by their preoperative risk (propensity) of intraoperative transfusion. *χ2P < .01. Propensity is the estimated risk based on regression of preoperative hematocrit, procedure type and complexity, ASA class, emergent status, age, and 18 other risk factors vs whether or not the patient received a transfusion intraoperatively. The propensity regression model is in the Appendix. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , e3DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions
