Notes: The Table reports patient-weighted risk-adjusted 1-year survival rates in 1994–1995 and in 2003–2004, and the change in survival rates from 1994–1995 to 2003–2004. Each cell identifies hospitals according to whether they were in the fastest of slowest adoption quintile of effective treatments in 1994–1995 and whether they were in the fastest or slowest adoption quintile of drug-eluting stents in 2003–2004 (see Table 1). All standard errors are clustered at the hospital level.
