Logistic regression analysis comparing attitudes of hip and knee cases towards total hip/knee replacement surgery.
| Response variable | Estimated odds ratio (95% Cl) knees versus hips | P-value |
|---|---|---|
| Would agree to a total hip/kneea replacement if offered surgery | 1.12b (0.51 to 2.47) | 0.78 |
| Knows someone with a total hip/kneea replacement | 0.21c (0.13 to 0.35) | <0.001 |
| Believes that total hip/kneea replacement is generally successful | 0.58d (0.35 to 0.97) | 0.04 |
