Black vs white
In‐hospital mortality, %	2.6	4.1	0.79 (0.61 to 1.02)	0.076
LOS,* d	5 (3 to 8)	4 (3 to 7)	1.04 (1.01 to 1.07)*	0.007

Adjusted for patient and hospital characteristics. LOS indicates length of stay; OR, odds ratio reported for outcomes in‐hospital mortality and warfarin use at discharge.

^*Median (25th, 75th percentile).

^*Multivariable regression model analyzed logarithm transformed LOS, and adjusted ratio of LOS was reported.
