Figure 1: Risk of hernia incarceration by wait time and age group among 1065 infants and young children waiting for surgical repair of an inguinal hernia in fiscal years 2002 and 2003.
Figure 2: Effect of covariates on the probability of hernia incarceration. Variables included in the logistic regression model were children's age, sex, number of visits to the emergency department after diagnosis and wait time for surgery. In the stratified logistic regression model, the variable of visits to the emergency department was dichotomized (≥ 1 visit v. none). CI = confidence interval.
