Data are for valve surgery and inpatient mortality following implementation of public reporting (1 January 2010–31 August 2015). Values are adjusted odds ratios. IDU x Trend Change, Level Change, and IDU x Level Change are excluded from the table as these terms were removed from presented models. These are odds ratios which require a “referent” to which the other variables are compared. Abbreviation: IDU, injection drug use.
