  3. Each column represents a multiple regression model with the following outcomes: Column 1: reoperation. Column 2: Atrial fibrillation. Column 3: Neurological sequelae. Each row contains a covariate in the model. For binary covariates, yes = 1 and no = 0, meaning that if the variable is present, the resulting coefficient is the absolute increase in risk, expressed as a fraction. For non-binary covariates, the resulting coefficient is the absolute increase in risk, expressed as a fraction, per one unit increase. Non-binary values are measured as follows; age (years), ECC and cross clamping time (minutes). Diagnosis A: aneurysm
