Availability of data and materials
All patient records and data were extracted from the 2005-2018 SPARCS Database. Due to the New York
State Department of Health SPARCS Data Use Agreement (DUA) contractual limitations (i.e., concerns
regarding patient records being re-identified), no reports contain cells with counts lower than 10 events;
thus, only percentages were reported in Tables 1-3.

Financial support and sponsorship
This study was primarily supported by the Stony Brook Renaissance School of Medicine Department of
Medicine small grant (led by Dr. Puja B. Parikh and Dr. A. Laurie Shroyer); additional funding and support
was provided by the Stony Brook University Renaissance School of Medicine Dean’s office Scholarly
Concentration Program’s Research Track (led by Dr. Thomas V. Bilfinger and Dr. A. Laurie Shroyer), and
the Division of Cardiothoracic surgery General T.F. Cheng endowment (led by Dr. Henry J. Tannous). Dr.
Shroyer’s support was also provided, in part, by the Stony Brook University Cancer Center.

Conflicts of interest
All authors declared that there are no conflicts of interest.
