Figure 1. DOISNORE50- vs non-DOISNORE50-screened: covariance balance before and after propensity matching.
Covariate balance plot before and after propensity score matching between DOISNORE50- and non-DOISNORE50-screened. Caliper width of 0.2 is used for propensity match. AFIB = atrial fibrillation, AIDS = acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, BMI = body mass index, CHF = congestive heart failure, COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, LOS = length of stay, MI = acute myocardial infarction.
