1 An empirically based tool for analyzing morbidity associated with operations for congenital heart disease  Marshall L. Jacobs, MD, Sean M. O’Brien, PhD, Jeffrey P. Jacobs, MD, Constantine Mavroudis, MD, Francois Lacour-Gayet, MD, Sara K. Pasquali, MD, Karl Welke, MD, Christian Pizarro, MD, Felix Tsai, MD, David R. Clarke, MD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 145, Issue 4, Pages e1 (April 2013) DOI: /j.jtcvs Copyright © 2013 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Unadjusted average PLOS (days) and unadjusted rate of major complications (percentage) are measured on the horizontal and vertical axes, respectively. Squares represent the 140 procedure types with n greater than 10. PLOS, Postoperative length of stay.

3 Figure 2 The proportions (%) of Any Major Complication and of Any Major Complication or Mortality are measured on the horizontal and vertical axes, respectively. The squares represent the 140 procedure types with n greater than 10.

4 Figure 3 The relationship between the STS-EACTS Mortality score2 and the STS Morbidity Score. Squares represent the 140 procedure types with n greater than 10.

5 Figure E1 The relationship between the number of categories and the degree of within-category homogeneity. Within-category homogeneity is defined as 1 minus the ratio of within-category variance to total variance of procedure-specific morbidity estimates.
