Facilities predicted versus observed AVF use. Predicted rates were derived from the final multivariable model. (A) Predicted rates include fixed patient and facility characteristics only. (B) Predicted rates include fixed patient and facility characteristics and the predicted random facility intercept. The improved model fit of model 1B illustrates the significant effect of facility on AVF use.
