Regarding the interaction between OEA and SA, this was interpreted as indicating that among those physicians with low SA scores, there was a significant effect of OEA on JS such that physicians with low OEA scores had relatively low JS compared with those with high OEA scores.
The interaction between SEA and SA, depicted visually in Figure 3, was interpreted to mean that, among those physicians with high scores in SA (> 4.401), there was a significant effect of SEA on JS such that physicians with low SEA scores had relatively higher JS compared with those with high SEA scores.
The "risk-seeking" physicians admitted only 31% of the patients with chest pain, compared with 53% for the physicians with low risk taking scores ("risk-avoiders").
Physicians and institutions with high volumes appear to have better outcomes than physicians and institutions with low volumes for pancreas cancer.
