High-Risk Complications
Hospital Mortality Tertile Adjusted Odds Ratio (95% CI) p Value
High 1.55 (0.89–2.70) 0.12
Middle 1.24 (0.67–2.29) 0.49
Low Reference
FTR After a High-Risk Complication
Hospital Mortality Tertile Adjusted Odds Ratio (95% CI) p Value
High 1.99 (1.31–3.02) 0.001
Middle 1.25 (0.82–1.92) 0.30

Adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals are presented for high-risk complications and FTR after a high-risk complication across hospital mortality tertiles (defined based on adjusted mortality rate).

CI = confidence interval; FTR = failure to rescue.
