Table 4.
Multivariable multinomial analysis coefficients and odds ratios for predictors of surgical site infection. Procedure categories (n = 15) and MSA (n = 393) were included in analysis but omitted from the table. Years are measured from 2007 up to 2014. Adjusted p-values were derived using Holm’s method.
