  • Notes: Significance was determined using multivariate binomial logistic regression. One-year mortality by consultant status was analyzed and adjusted for type of operation to assess for confounding. Because of the low frequency of cannulated screws surgeries, mortality at 1 year could not be assessed. Data were unavailable for 6 patients.
