The values are given as the number of participants.
These values were not significant at p = 0.330, determined with use of the Fisher exact test.
Other orthopaedic surgical procedures were lumbar fusion (n = 1) and to treat hip fracture (n = 1), malleolar fracture (n = 1), tibial fracture (n = 1), and shoulder injury (n = 1).
Other hospitalization reasons included heart failure, anemia, cellulitis, angioplasty, pacemaker, and cyst removal, among others.
These values were not significant at p = 0.190, determined with use of the Fisher exact test.
