Table 4 Poisson regression model of PTA failure a in the PAD cases for various time periods in Taiwan

From: Invasively-treated incidence of lower extremity peripheral arterial disease and associated factors in Taiwan: 2000–2011 nationwide hospitalized data analysis

 

Cohort I: PTAs performed during 2000-2001

Cohort II: PTAs performed during 2004-2005

 

Cohort III: PTAs performed during 2008-2009

  1. RR: risk ratio.
  2. Note: a: This means that all the patients needed to be treated with additive bypass surgery or amputation within 2 years after their PTA procedure. b: Crude relative ratio of period effect is to compare with the PTAs failure rate in period I and to keep off age-period interaction.
