    Moderate 0.94 (0.75, 1.18) 0.596
    Major or Extreme 0.60 (0.45, 0.80) 0.001

APR-DRG = All patient refined diagnostics-related group; CI = Confidence Interval.

Notes: Includes 2,500 total hip and total knee replacement admissions who could elect to receive acupuncture in the total joint replacement program at Abbott Northwestern Hospital between January 1st, 2010 and December 31st, 2012. Confidence intervals and p-value calculated using standard errors clustered by patient.
