Observed vs predicted incidence of death within one year among SI quartiles.

<p>The bar graphs show the observed incidence of all-cause deaths (CVD-caused, infection-caused, and other-caused death). The line graph shows the incidence of deaths predicted using SI. The observed incidences are in good agreement with the predicted incidence. Abbreviations: SI, Survival index; CVD, cardiovascular disease-caused death; infection, infection-caused death.
