Models are presented in step-wise fashion so that each subsequent model includes the variables in the prior model. Coefficients for patient and hospital characteristics were suppressed due to space. Model 1 includes separate un-adjusted models for sex and race/ethnicity. Model 2 includes all patient characteristics: age, surgical Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs), 27 Elixhauser comorbidity dummies, insurance type, transfer status, Neighborhood Socioeconomic Index. Model 3 adds hospital characteristics: bed size, teaching status, technology status, Core Based Statistical Area (CBSA), and state. Model 4 adds significant interaction term (race/ethnicity*sex). Reference group is non-Hispanic white women.
