  1. P-values calculated between the “Excellent”/”Good” and “Borderline”/”Fair”/”Poor” groups
  2. No patients in the study were “Native American or Alaska Native.”
  3. a5-factor Modified Frailty Index was scored from 0–5, with 5 being more frail
  4. bSocial vulnerability indices were acquired from CDC; higher score indicates greater vulnerability in region
