Relative Rates of Death in Regions With Very High vs Very Low Diagnosis Frequency Among Beneficiaries Diagnosed With Each of 9 Chronic Conditions

Relative rates were calculated using logistic regression adjusted for age/sex/race and number of coexisting chronic conditions and are not calculable from raw counts of numbers of deaths and numbers with each condition. CAD indicates coronary artery disease; CHF, congestive heart failure; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; PVD, peripheral vascular disease.
