Structural equation models of relationships between domains of characteristics and 30-day mortality and post-discharge mortality

(A) Relationships between domains of hospital admission and pre-existing characteristics and 30-day mortality. (B) Relationships between domains of hospital discharge, hospital admission, and pre-existing characteristics and post-discharge mortality. Significant associations (p<0·05) are indicated by solid arrows and non-significant associations by dashed arrows. Significant negative associations are indicated by the – symbol. For significant associations, the arrow thickness corresponds to the effect size. Each outcome was adjusted for age and sex and was modelled with a random intercept at the site level. The full estimation results are provided in the appendix (pp 44–45). Model results were weighted using sampling and lost to follow-up weights.
