Estimates were made from a logistic regression at episode level with standard errors clustered at the hospital level. In addition to the listed variables, year fixed effects and state fixed effects were controlled for. Coefficients were converted as percentage changes in the odds of receiving a subsequent revision. CHF = congestive heart failure; COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
