Note: The APDC was the primary data source. The APDC is the official inclusive state-wide data collection of hospital inpatient statistics in NSW. The IRSD refers to Index of Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage; UAP refers to unstable angina pectoris; IHD refers to ischaemic heart disease; HF refers to heart failure; main language spoken and region of birth were proxies for ethnicity. Age was transformed as a one part polynomial expression. Length of stay was transformed as a two part polynomial expression.

Missing values for marital status (35), main language spoken (18), socioeconomic status (20) and billing status (2). Married/not married refers to those known to be married or partnered, compared with those known to be not married or partnered.
