Hospital-specific rates of radical cystectomy use by hospital rank. Rates of radical cystectomy use were based on the two-level hierarchical model. Rates of radical cystectomy use for 822 hospitals were ranked from lowest to highest. The rates were calculated using hierarchical generalized linear models (two levels), adjusted for patient, diagnosing urologist, and hospital characteristics. The horizontal line represents the overall mean rate of radical cystectomy use. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals for the rates of individual hospital. RC = radical cystectomy.
