Association between urgency, wait-list clearance times and cumulative incidence for death on the wait list as measured by odds ratios derived from discrete-time survival regression models

Effect	Unadjusted OR(95% CI)	Adjusted OR*(95% CI)
non-urgent vs semi-urgent	1.61(1.00, 2.59)	1.69(1.05, 2.74)
clearance time of 1 month or less	1.00	1.00
clearance time of more than 1 month	1.67(1.05, 2.66)	1.64(1.02, 2.63)
direct admission†	--	1.00(1.00, 1.00)

*Adjusted for age, sex, comorbidity, calendar period, and week on the list

†Associated with one additional surgery performed without wait-list registration
