Outcome was requested procedures not being scheduled (vs completed, scheduled, or canceled). Model selection used backward stepwise methodology. Surgical/procedural specialty was included as a covariate and preserved in model selection, but odds ratios are not displayed. Observations: 11,265. CI: confidence interval.
