Variability between PHIS hospitals in the timing of inguinal hernia repair in neonates.

Unadjusted (open circles and solid lines) and adjusted (closed circles and dotted lines) estimates of the percentage of patients with delayed inguinal hernia repair at each hospital with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Adjustments included: age at the index admission; gender; insurance source; prematurity; the presence of any congenital anomaly plus other specific anomalies (hepatobiliary, renal, musculoskeletal, genetic, and respiratory); mechanical ventilation, total parenteral nutrition prior to the treatment decision, blood product transfusion prior to the treatment decision; and the length of stay prior to the treatment decision. * = Hospitals that wre significant outliers compared to the overall mean (as shown by the reference line).
