Center for Surgical Outcomes and Quality, UCLA School of Medicine, West Los Angeles Veterans' Administration Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA, USA.

Age stratification could provide clinicians with information more applicable to an individual patient than overall mortality figures.
Methods: In a retrospective analysis, data were obtained from the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) for the years 1995 to 1999.
