Heatmap comparing the weak and strong links by connection type 

Notes: n is the number of valid connections of that type with ≥ 3 shared patients, each segment displays both the FCD weight for the weak (left) and strong (right) link of that connection type. Weak links apply to connections that fall into the first tertile in terms of the number of shared patients, whereas strong links fall into the third tertile. The weights are positive / negative if the presence of that link in a patient-centered networks is associated with increased / decreased hospitalization rates compared to networks that do not contain this connection type
