Hospital peer groups were divided into 5 categories: principal referral (≥25 000 separations per year), major (10 000 24 999 separations per year), district (2000 9999 separations per year), community (up to 2000 separations per year) and other (non-acute, unpeered hospitals).

In Melbourne, activity centres were identified and classified into the following categories: 25 principal activity centres, 79 major activity centres and 10 specialised activity centres [6].
After the scale has been set in two main categories, a Principal Component Analysis was performed based on the CCT assumptions, using the tetrachoric correlation among the items of BISOC.
Based on the correlations between ecological categories and principal components, general characteristics are ascribed to the biota and climatic conditions of each assemblage based on its position in the component plot.
Despite some variation across categories, the principal finding was that there was a large lesion overlap between subtypes.
Next to each category the principal can mark "strength," "weakness" or "does not apply".
For the hydrocarbon category of principal a priori interest, the nonaromatic liquid gasoline distillates, the estimated relative risk (RR) for any exposure above refinery background was 1.0 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.5-1.9 0.5-1.9
The covariates were sex, age at the last survey, the birth cohort (i.e., two birth cohorts containing individuals born between 1951 and 1970 and 1971 1999, respectively, and the 1915 1950 birth cohort as the reference category), 3 principal components to correct for Dutch population substructure (Abdellaoui et al. 2013), and sample specific covariates to account for batch and for chip effects.
