  1. aSee Additional file 1, for codes and logic used for extraction and derivation of parameters
  2. bReference parameters: Age 56–66 years (inclusive), no calculated heart disease, albumin ≥ 3.5 (or missing value), normal BMI (19.5–24.9), no COPD, male, no heart failure, Medicare insurance, no calculated kidney disease, and no shock.
  3. cEach eligible patient had a risk score of exp(raw score)/(1 + exp(raw score)), where the raw score was the sum of the intercept and parameter estimates corresponding to the patients characteristics in each parameter.
