 Hospital-level variance (95%CI) 0.38 (0.06, 0.28) 0.81 (0.60, 1.1) 0.57 (0.42, 0.76)
Intraclass correlations**, %

The residual (patient) variance in a mixed logistic regression model is fixed at π^(2/3)

**

ICC calculated as proportion of hospital variance divided by total variance where total variance is the sum of hospital variance and residual variance π^(2/3)
