Numbers of patients dead and living at 30 days from date of discharge who were denoted ‘met’ or ‘not met’ at last in-hospital assessment, and their associated all-cause mortality odds and OR's. The 95% CI's for the OR's are all less than ±15% of the values given and none overlaps one; p values for OR's are estimated by the Fisher Exact test (two-tailed), and listed in the last column. Note the only p value larger than 0.001 is for the pain assessment.
