Why is it important?
We found time required to complete 33% and 66% of surgeries, varied across provinces and by timing of admission. This may reflect different provincial approaches to providing access to hip fracture surgery.
Perspectives
We succesfully used a quantile regression for count data to test whether the times required to perform 33, 66, and 90% of surgeries were different between each province and Ontario.
