The estimated spatial (a) and temporal (c) structure component ORs from Model 3. b and d are certainty maps indicating the span of 95% credible intervals for the spatial and temporal structure component, respectively. For the spatial structure component, red (a) and blue (b) colour indicates that the 28-day mortality halfway through the study period (since time period was mean centred) was higher than the national mean after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, white colour indicates it was similar to the national mean, and green (a) and yellow (b) colour indicates it was lower. For the temporal structure component, red (c) and blue (d) colour indicates the 28-day mortality was not decreasing as fast as the national mean after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, white colour indicates the trend in 28-day mortality was similar to the national trend, and green (c) and yellow (d) colour indicates 28-day mortality was decreasing faster than the national mean. Data on administrative boundaries were obtained from the Danish Agency for Data Supply and Efficiency
