Kaplan–Meier curves estimating mortality after surgery. Curves show survival after surgery (major surgery patients [n = 772] and minor surgery controls [n = 303]) or diagnosis of cirrhosis (outpatient controls [n = 562]) through (A) 90 days, (B) 1 year, and (C) 3 years.

Analysis of MELD score. Smoothing spline curves illustrate relationship between MELD score and relative risk of postoperative mortality at (A) 30 days, (B) 90 days, and (C) 1 year. (D) Coefficient of mortality for MELD vs postoperative time. Dotted curves represent 95% confidence limits.

4. Figure 3
Relationship between MELD and mortality. Curves show postoperative mortality at (A) 30 days and (B) 90 days as a function of preoperative MELD score. The curves may be used to determine the risk for mortality at these time points in an individual patient.
