  • * All values are calculated using LSMEANS from within the generalized linear model procedure and reflect group averages “controlled for” RIW. p value is Bonferroni corrected.

  • CMG 356 = nontraumatic femoral fracture, CMG 579 = nonmalignant major gynecologic procedures, CMG 580 = other major gynecologic procedures, CMG 581 = procedures for endometriosis, CMG 876 = multiple significant trauma with lower extremity fractures.
