Figure 1 Risks of Perioperative Mortality and Total Morbidity and Morbidity
Risks of (A) perioperative mortality and (B) total morbidity and mortality. Distribution of calculated (STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Risk Calculator) operative risk among operated and unoperated patients with severe organic mitral regurgitation. The first and third quartile for each dataset are defined by the rectangle; the data median by the heavy crossbar; bars define the lowest and greatest values that are not outliers (falling within 1.5 times the interquartile range); outliers are depicted as open circles and extreme outliers (values outside 3 times the interquartile range) as asterisks. The distribution of risk was skewed but similar among operated and unoperated patients.
