**p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, CABG and PCI rates are per 100,000 persons aged 20 and over. 1. For the regression analysis with the dependent variable of PCI rate, CABG rate was used as an independent variables. 2. For the regression analysis with the dependent variable of PCI rate, the number of PCI in the hospital service areas was used
