RELATION BETWEEN HOSPITAL VOLUME AND REVISION RATE AT 18<br />

MONTHS<br />

Table 7.13 pres<strong>en</strong>ts the results of the Cox pr<strong>op</strong>ortional hazards mo<strong>de</strong>l. Wh<strong>en</strong> taking<br />

the case-mix into account (i.e. adjusting for age, g<strong>en</strong><strong>de</strong>r, Charlson score and principal<br />

diagnosis), medium-<strong>volume</strong> hospitals have a statistically significant higher revision rate at<br />

18 months than high-<strong>volume</strong> hospitals: 1.451 95% CI (1.004, 2.098). There was,<br />

however, no effect wh<strong>en</strong> small and high <strong>volume</strong> hospitals were compared: 1.137 95% CI<br />

(0.701, 1.846). These <strong>op</strong>posite results are difficult to un<strong>de</strong>rstand.<br />
