Figure 3 Complication rate by total risk score for coronary artery bypass graft patients in New York State, 2003 (n = 14,692). Complication = one or more of stroke, transmural myocardial infarction, deep sternal wound infection, bleeding requiring reoperation, sepsis/endocarditis, gastrointestinal bleeding/perforation/infarction, renal failure, respiratory failure, and unplanned cardiac operation/interventional procedure.
