Table reports the area under the receiver operating characteristic (C statistic) for multiple models predicting either mortality or complications. Separate models for 30-day, 180-day and 365-day mortality were computed for each cohort. The 2 composite complication outcomes included either (1) severe, Clavien-Dindo level IV complications or (2) any complication except SSI or UTI. Outcome data were complete for the 2785 and 1021 patients with RAI-A and mFI scores, respectively. Of the 6856 patients with RAI-C scores, 6803, 6419, and 5959 were followed up for 30, 180 and 365 days, respectively.
