1 Mortality on the waiting list for coronary artery bypass grafting: incidence and risk factors 
Helena Rexius, MD, Gunnar Brandrup-Wognsen, MD, PhD, Anders Odén, PhD, Anders Jeppsson, MD, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 77, Issue 3, Pages (March 2004) DOI: /j.athoracsur

2 Fig 1 Mortality rate by priority group. Mortality in the imperative group was three times higher than in the urgent group and five times higher than in the routine group (p < 0.001). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur )

3 Fig 2 Risk ratio for mortality in relation to time since acceptance. The risk increases 11% each month (p = 0.02). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur )

4 Fig 3 Mortality rate on the waiting list related to Cleveland Clinic risk score. The risk of death increases 18% for every step in the score (p < 0.01). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur )
