* Cohort includes patients completing the entire 5-year study (n=3357; alive=2809; dead=548). CI denotes confidence interval.
† Excluded were 26 patients with missing values for at least one of the risk factors in the model, including the covariates. The Hosmer–
   Lemeshow goodness-of-fit chi-square test statistic was 9.82 (P=.278). The C-index for the model was .763.
‡ Excluded were 97 patients with missing values for at least one of the risk factors in the model, including the covariates. The Hosmer–
   Lemeshow goodness-of-fit chi-square test statistic was 12.45 (P=.132). The C-index for the model was .763.
§ Complex surgery was defined as surgery under any of the following conditions: a history of coronary-artery bypass grafting, valve surgery,
   noncoronary angioplasty or stenting, or other cardiac or vascular noncardiac surgery, combined current heart surgery, or current surgery
   in emergency status or urgent status with evidence of congestive heart failure preoperatively.
Race or ethnic group was determined by the clinical investigator.
¶ No angina indicates admission to cardiac surgery without angina, and generally for other reasons, such as: heart failure, myocardial  
   infarction, sudden death, or failed percutaneous intervention.
**To convert the value for creatinine to micromoles per liter, multiply by 88.4.
