Figure 2

Effect of adding the Procedural Index for Mortality Risk (PIMR) score to the Kaiser Permanente Inpatient Risk Adjustment Methodology (KP-IRAM) on predicted risk of death in hospital. This graph presents the expected probability of death in hospital (vertical axis) for varying PIMR scores (horizontal axis). Risks are presented for people whose expected risk of death in hospital (based on the KP-IRAM) was at the 25th percentile (0.01%, solid line), 50th percentile (0.11%, long-dashed line), and 75th percentile (1.35%, short-dashed line).
