Figure 2. Adjusted Odds Ratios of Receiving Surgical Therapy by Compliance with Guidelines.

Figure 2

The adjusted model incorporates expenditures on evaluative care and guideline compliance and adjusts for patient (age, race, comorbidity, and socioeconomic status) and urologist (type of practice, practice location, and years in practice) factors. Adjustment was made for temporal trends by adding a term for year to the model. Interactions between intensity and guideline adherence were assessed, but were not significant, and were excluded from the final model.
