*
Threshold parameter estimates refer to the overall likelihood of a response at or below the corresponding category; the estimate for the highest category is not necessary because all cases fall into this or a lower category.
†
Significantly enhanced the prediction of overall hysterectomy satisfaction rating, P < 0.05.
