Table S1 - A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Variation in Charges and Prices across California for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

The impact of patient characteristics on raw charges. In this first step of our two-part regression model, we regressed multiple patient demographic and clinical characteristics listed above, along with hospital fixed effects, on the log of raw charges. The percent impact of each covariate on charges shown here represent the difference between the exponentiated coefficients from the model and one, to indicate percent change. This regression not only generated the impact of patient characteristics on charges, but also was used to estimate the adjusted charge per average length of stay at each hospital.
