2 Fig 1 (A–C) Prevalence and incidence of risk factors by hemoglobin level. Risk factors that are nearly constant (body surface area and sex) are not shown. Patients with missing hemoglobin measurements are not shown. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2008 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 Postoperative morbidity by hemoglobin levels. Complications that have an average incidence less than 1% (endocarditis, reoperation requiring bypass, and coma) are not shown. Patients with missing hemoglobin measurements are not shown. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2008 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
