Table 4.

This table depicts two multivariate, mixed effects models for cost of a) transcatheter device closure of ASD and b) operative closure of ASD adjusted for the listed covariates. Coefficients greater than one demonstrate an association with higher cost, while those less than one demonstrate an association with lower cost.
