6. Fig 5
Unadjusted association between gait speed and operative mortality. Decreasing gait speed was associated with increasing odds of operative mortality. Blue shaded area indicates 95% confidence interval; dashed line indicates reference odds ratio of 1.0. (m/s = meters per second.)

7. Fig 6
Proportion of black patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery at institutions ranked top to bottom based on increasing risk-adjusted mortality. Centers in quartile 1 (0% to 25%) had the lowest risk-adjusted operative mortality, whereas centers in quartile 4 (75% to 100%) had the highest risk-adjusted operative mortality. (vs = versus.)
