Methods for updating a risk prediction model for cardiac surgery: a statistical primer.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Recent evidence shows that permissive anaemia strategies are safe in different surgical settings. However, effects of variations in haemoglobin (Hb) levels could have a negative impact in high-risk patients. We investigated the combined effect of postoperative Hb concentration and cardiac risk status on majo...
