The estimated coefficient is on the log(hazard rate) scale. A relative risk over one indicates that having the associated covariate (or each unit of the associated covariate) increases the hazard of dying in the hospital. The nonlinear portion of the spline terms for hours in acuity and heart rate do not have single estimated coefficients. Thus, only χ2 tests and the associated p values are given for these rows. 2025 patients are included in this model.
