Table 1. Number of Procedures Affected by Assumed Increases in Annual Thyroidectomy Volumes in Generalized Linear Mixed-Effects Modeling.
Actual Annual Surgeon Volume, No. | Assumed Increase to Annual Surgeon Volume, No. | Procedures Affected, No. (Cumulative %)a |
---|---|---|
1-9 | 10 | 2912 (29.0) |
1-19 | 20 | 6305 (62.9) |
1-29 | 30 | 8419 (84.0) |
1-39 | 40 | 9644 (95.8) |
Total cumulative percentage is less than 100% because 4.2% of the procedures were performed by surgeons with annual volumes of 40 or more; their annual volumes were unchanged in the analysis.
