a

Average predicted risk among visits in this stratum.

b

Proportion of visits in this stratum with an event within 90 days.

c

Among all visits in the entire sample with an event within 90 days, the percentage of such visits within this stratum.

Note: Cut-points used to define risk score percentile strata are based on the distribution of risk predictions as observed in the original model development sample.
