Figure 2 Changing Patient Preferences After Hospital Discharge
The proportions of patients in each time trade-off group at different times after hospital discharge are shown. The number of patients responding for each interval is shown below the figure. Purple bars = willing to trade almost all (22 to 24 months); red bars = willing to trade one-half or more (12 to 21 months); blue bars = willing to trade less than one-half (3 to 11 months); green bars = willing to trade almost none (0 to 2 months); black bars = cumulative number of patients dying by the end of each interval. Definitions of intervals are as in Table 2. *Patients in each willingness-to-trade category at each interval are shown as percent of patients with data at that interval; cumulative deaths are shown as percent of 404 patients with baseline data.
