Fixed registry effects
Random registry effects
*

Confidence intervals and p values are based on a t distribution. HR = hazard ratio, CI = confidence interval, and PS = posterior-stabilized knee prostheses.

Fixed registry effects were included in this model (five coefficients), but the results are omitted from this table because a precondition of data sharing was no reporting of comparisons among registries. The estimated intercept of the fixed registry effects was −5.522 (standard error, 0.134).

The estimated intercept of the random registry effects was 0.020 (standard error, 0.020).
