Table 3.

The frequency of and odds ratios for flap or graft reconstruction relative to anatomic location, recurrent status, and tumor stage.

Appropriate use criteria		Frequency of flap or graft reconstruction	Odds ratio [95% CI]	P value
Anatomic location	H or M^*	53.7% (275/512)	10.3 [4.86, 21.8]	0.0001
Anatomic location	L^**	10.1% (8/79)	1 (ref)	0.0001
Recurrent status	Recurrent	58.4% (59/101)	1.67 [1.08, 2.57]	0.0217
Recurrent status	Primary	45.7% (224/490)	1 (ref)	0.0217
Tumor stage	In situ	48.0% (217/452)	1.02 [0.70, 1.49]	0.9230
Tumor stage	Invasive	47.5% (66/139)	1 (ref)	0.9230

H or M locations are the head and neck, acral sites, genitalia, and pretibial leg.

^**

L locations are all other anatomic sites. ref = reference variable for calculation of odds ratios.
