From information collected in a national survey of podiatrists conducted

by the National Center for Health Statistics, statistics are presented

describing the clinical practice of podiatry in the United Statesin 1970., Patient-care activity is described in terms of its volume and its nature.

Indicators of volume are number of hours per week spent in patient care,number of patient visits, actual number of patients seen a week, andnumber of full-time and part-time helpers employed. Indicators of thenature of clinical activity are the practitioner’s primary and secondaryclinical specialties, range and types of clinical services rendered, and clinicalsetting (such as office, hospital, and nursing home) in which services wererendered.

PODIATRY MANPOWER:

CHARACTERISTICS OF CLINICAL PRACTICE

Hugo K. Koch and Hazel M. Phillips, Division of Health Resources Statistics

INTRODUCTION

This report, on the clinicaI practice of podia-try, is the second in a series of reports onpodiatric activity in the United States in 1970.Statistics reported here are chiefly the productof a national survey of podiatrists conducted bythe National Center for Health Statistics withthe cooperation of the American Podiatry Asso-ciation during the period January-March 1970.The survey was conducted by a self-administeredquestionnaire that was mailed to all licensedpodiatrists in the United States. (A facsimile ofthe questionnaire is shown as appendix III.)

The professional population that forms thestatistical base for this analysis is the 7,078podiatrists who were “clinically active” in thepractice of their profession. A podiatrist desig-nated clinically active is one who devotes somepart of his weekly professional effort–howeversmall-to the direct diagnosis and treatment ofpodiatric patients. The figure 7,078 is itseIf anestimate, reflecting the application of a statisti-cal adjustment designed to compensate forvarious types of nonrespqnse to the survey (seeappendix I). This figure represents a goodapproximation of the actual number of podia-trists who were engaged in caring for podiatricpatients at the time of the survey in 1970.

The first report of the series, “PodiatryManpower: A General Profile,” presents a statis-tical perspective of the national resource in

podiatrists who were active and inactive in theirprofession at the time of the survey.’ A thirdreport will focus on the podiatric patient andwill describe these patients statistically frominformation supplied by the podiatrists whotreated them at the time of the 1970 survey.

The present report, supported by 22 detailedtables, is composed of the following parts:

1. A general demographic and professiomdprofile of the overalI podiatrist populationin 19 70—a review of the first report.

2. Characteristics of clinical practice, includ-inga. General features (tables 1-3).b. Volume of clinical activity in terms of

Hours per week devoted to patientcare (tables 4-6).Number of patient visits per week(tables 7-9).Number of patients seen per week(tables 10-12).Number of full-time and part-timehelpers employed to assist in practice(tahes 14-19).

Three appendixes support the report. Appen-dix I describes the technical procedures thatwere used in the collection and processing of thesurvey responses, especially the various adjust-ments applied to the raw data to compensate fornonresponse. Definitions of terms used in thereport appear in appendix II. Appendix III is afacsimile of the survey questionnaire that wasmailed to all licensed podiatrists in the UnitedStates.

THE PODIATRIST IN PROFILE

The following are selected findings from thefirst report on podiatry manpower (see footnotea).

1. There were an estimated 8,017 podiatristsactive and inactive in their profession at the timeof the 1970 survey. Of these, 7,113 (or about 89percent) were actively engaged in professionalpodiatric activities, clinical and nonclinical.

2. About 11 percent of the total (904) wereinactive in their profession, 370 by reason ofretirement and 533 for other reasons. Therelatively large proportion that was inactive butnot retired (about 7 percent) suggested anexisting resource in professional podiatric skillsthat was not being fully exploited.

3. Characteristics of the 7,113 podiatristsactive in their profession in 1970 are as follows:

. The national ratio of active podiatriststo population was about 3.5 podiatristsper 100,000 population.

● po&t&.s tended to concentrate inareas of the greatest population density.Five States–New York, California,Penns yIvania, IHinois, and Ohio–accounted for more than one-half of thetotal number of active podiatrists.

. Regionally, the Northeast had thehighest concentration of active podia-trists (6.1 per 100,000 population); theSouth had the lowest (1.6 per 100,000).

. About 96 percent of active podiatristswere male.

. Median age was about 51 years; mediannumber of years active in podiatry wasabout 21.

. About 94 percent were self-employed.

. A substantial majority (about 85percent) were engaged in scdo practice.

. About 69 percent held active licenses inonly one State.

. The median volume of time devoted toall professional activities (by all practi-tioners, fulI-time and part-time) was 48weeks per year or more and about 39hours per week. A substantial 21 per-cent were in the part-time group whodevoted fewer than 35 hours per weekto podiatric activities. As already notedfor the nonretired inactives, this sL~g-gested a considerable resource in podi-atric skills that was not being fullyexploited.

● An analysis of nonclinical activities rc-vetiled that about 31%percent of activepodiatrists devoted some time to teach-ing in colleges of podiatry; about 7percent engaged to some degree inpodiatric research; and about 11 percentwere at least partiaIIy active in adminis-trative duties other than those con-nected with the care of patients (e.g.,podiatry associations and collegeadministration).

● More than 99 percent of all activepodiatrists engaged to some extent inthe dkect care of podiatric patients. It isthis clinical universe, an estimated 7,078in number, that supplied the statisticalbase for the tables and textual analysisof the present report.

Clearly, podiatrists preferred the N%rtiieast-Re-gion by a substantial margin. Within the regions,podiatrists showed a distinct tendency to con-centrate in, areas of the greatest populationdensity, especially in and around the largermetropolitan areas. More than one-h,df of practi-tioners were to be found in the five States inwhich most of the metropolitan areas werelocated; together, these five States accounted for35 percent of the total U.S. population.

Most podiatrists fell in the age group 45-54years, with the median age located at 50.5 years.

A substantial majority of practitioners (about69 percent) held an active license in only oneState. About 23 percent were licensed in twoStates, while only about 8 percent reportedlicensure by three States or more.

In terms of their principal form of employ-ment, clinically active podiatrists showed thefollowing distribution: -

Median hours per week spent in patient care inall clinical settings was calculated to be 38.2

hours. Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect ofthis distribution is that roughly one-third of allpractitioners reported less than 35 hours perweek of patient-care activity. The subduedclinical effort of this relatively large groupfunctioned to depress the median experience forall practitioners and suggests a potential fortreating podiatric patients that was not beingexploited in the Nation at the time of thesurvey.

The relationships between hours spent inpatient care and other descriptors of the podia-trist and his activity were analyzed by deter-mining for each category to be examined (e.g.,age interval and number of patients) the propor-tion of practitioners in that category whodevoted 35 hours per week or more to patientcare. When this index of clinical volume wasdetermined for each of the census regions, thef oIIo wing geogaphic distribution becameapparent:

No marked regional sensitivities are evident forthe three regions that reported the highestconcentrations of active podiatrists, i.e., theNortheast, North Central, and West Regions.The South, however, report ed a relativelygreater proportion of podiatrists who devoted aweekly total of 35 hours or more to patient care(almost 74 percent). Note that the South alsohad the Iowest ratio of podiatrists to generaIpopulation. Assuming a need for podiatric serv-ices that was uniformly distributed throughoutthe regions of the United States, thk mightmean that more Southern podiatrists were ex-tending their patient-care effort to partiallycompensate for their relative scarcity within”thatregion.

As one might expect, the age of the practi-tioner hqd its effect on this index of clinicalvolume. Note m the. following table that thevolume of activity peaked among podiatristsaged 45-54 years (median age in the Nation wasabout 51 years) and dropped markedly amongthose 65 years and over.

Agedevoted 35 hoursor more per week

to patient care

There was a tendency for the female podia-trist to work a substantiality shorter cIinical weekthan her male counterpart. OnIy about 43percent of the 314 female podiatrists reportedthat they devoted more than 35 hours per weekto patient care as opposed to about 71 percentof the 6,764 male practitioners.

Applying this index of clinical volume to thepodiatrist’s principal form of employmentproduced the following result:

The typical ‘self-employed podiatrist tended todevote more time to patient care than did hissalaried colleagues; and among the self-employed, the largest proportions reporting 35hours or more of patient-care activity were thoseengaged in multiple-member forms of practice.

Patient uMs.-To determine clinical volumeby the rate of patient visits, survey respondentswere asked in item 19 of the questionnaire:“Approximately how many patient visits didyou have last week? (Include office visits andvisits in other settings.)” A tabulation of thenatiomd experience for patient visits per weekreveals the following:

Hsh-e,>s- with hours per week devoted to patientcm-e, the typical Southern podiatrist seemed tobe partially compensating for his relative scar-city in that region by demonstrating anotherindication of greater clinical workload. In thisc~sc, the expanded workload amounted to aboutnine visits per week more than the nationalmedian experience.

FiLgye 1 shows the relationship betweenpatient visits per week and age of thepractitioner.Clinical activity in terms of patient visits perweek is seen to peak at about 84 visits in the agegroup 35-44 years and to decelerate with in-creasing tempo until, among podiatrists over 65years,the median experience was about 39 visitsper week.

As in the case of hours per week devoted topatient care, it is again evident that podiatristswho engaged in the multiple-member forms ofpractice experienced a clinical workload thatwas higher than that, of solo practitioners.Nationally, however, such podiatrists were in thedecided minority, with only 458 of their num-bers practicing in partnerships and only 129engaged in group practice. The estimated 6,063solo practitioners (about 86 percent of thenational resource in podiatrists), with theirmedian experience of 70 visits per week, pro-vided by far the greatest bulk of professionalservice to podiatric patients in the United Statesat the time of the survey.

Survey findings revealed a direct relationshipbetween number of patient visits and number ofhours per week spent in patient care. Anincrease in the one was accompanied by aroughly proportionate increase in the other(figure 2).

Median experience of about 38 hours perweek devoted to patient care and 71 patientvisits suggests that the typical patient visit lastedroughly one-half hour.

Patients seen.–To determine clinical volumeby the rate of patients seen per week, surveyrespondents were asked to report the actualnumber of patients represented by the numberof patient visits that they had experienced in thepreceding week. Patients with multiple visitswere to be counted onl;’ once.

Figure 3, Median number of patients seen per week by age of

Clinical activity in terms of patients seen perweek is seen to peak at about 74 patients in thea~c group 35-44 years and to decelerate withinct-e:tsing tempo until, among podiatrists 65ytm-s und over, the median experience was about36 patients per week.

With u median experience of about 39 pa-tients seen per week, female podiatrists reported

a clinical workload that was ordy slightly morethan half the load of 65 patients per weekreported by the typical ma.Ie practitioner.

The following table reveals the relationshipthat existed between this measure of cIinicalvolume and the principal form of practiceengaged in by the self-employed podiatrist.

The typical podiatrist who engaged in one of themultiple-member forms of practice saw morepatients per week than did his colleague in solopractice. Podiatrists who engaged in partnershipor group practice, however, were a decidedminority of the national total. It was theestimated 6,063 solo practitioners, constitutingabout 86 percent of the national resource inpodiatrists, who, with their median experience cof 63 patients per week, provided by far the.greatest bulk of professional service to podiatricpatients in the United States at the time of thesurvey.

Median experiences of about 64 for thenumber of patients seen per week and about 71for the weekly number of patient visits suggestthat multiple patient visits during a single weekwere relatively uncommon among typicalpractitioners.

Number of assistants. –One of the most re-vealing indicators of the podiatrist’s cIinicalvolume was the number of assistants that heemployed. The survey respondent was asked:“In your principal form of employment, do Y70U. .employ o~fice assistants other than podiatrists toassist you? (Include receptionists, secretaries,technical assistants, nurses, etc.)” (See question16, appendix III.) He was asked to report thenumber he employed and to specify whether heemployed these assistants on a full-time basis(35 hours per week or more) or on a part-timebasis (less than 35 hours per week).

NuM8ER OF ASSISTANTS

Figure4. Median number of patient visits and number of

pmients seen per weak by number of assistants employed:

United States, 1970,

About 62 percent of the Nation’s podiatristsemployed assistants. The typical empIoyer wassubstantially younger (median of about 48 yearsof age) than the typical nonempIoyer (median ofabout 56 years of age). Where assistants wereemployed, there was always a greater volume ofclinical activity (figure 4). For example, where

practition&s with no assistants reported mediansof about 41 patients and about 46 visits perweek, the typical practitioner who employedassistants reported about 75 patients per weekand about 84 visits. Where only about 40percent of non-users reported a working week of35 hours or more, the proportion was about 60percent for podiatrists who used assistants,reflecting a median workweek of about 36-37hours for the non-user and about 39 hours forthe user.

Of the Nation’s 7,078 podiatrists who en-gaged in patient care, about 32 percent (2,287)employed one assistant; about 19 percent

(1,328) employed two; only about 11 percent(762) employed three or more. The greater thenumber of assistants, the greater was the numberof patient visits and patients seen. For example,the typical practitioner with one assistant sawabout 66 patients per week; the practitionerwit h three or more assistants saw about 101.The typical practitioner with one assistantreported about 73 patient visits per week; thepractitioner with three assistants or morereported 120.

There is similarly a direct relationship be-tween number of assistants and hours per weekdevoted to patient care, as the following tableshows :

Of the 7,078 podiatrists engaged in patientcare at the time of the survey, about 48 percent(3,361) employed full-time assistants; about 32percent (2,293 ) employed part-time assistants.Typically, if a podiatrist employed only oneassistant, it tended to be on a full-time basis; ifhe employed two assistants, the most popularcombination was one full-time helper and onepart-time; if he reported three or more assist-ants, he tended to use about three full-timeassistants for every two part-time employees.

Southern podiatrists employed substantiaHymore full-time assistants than did podiatrists inother regions. The percentage of full-time em-ployers in the South more than doubled thepercentage for the Northeast Region. Perhapsthis reflected another attempt on the part of theSouthern practitioners to compensate for theirrelative scarcity in that region. If that was true,their compensatory effort obviously did notextend to any marked increase above the na-tional tendency in the employment of part-timewsistants.

AGE IN YEARS

Podiatrists in the multiple-member forms ofpractice showed the most pronounced tendencyto employ both full-time and part-time assist-ants. The highest rate of full-time employmentoccurred among the relatively few (129) podia-

trists in group practice. It is perhaps significantthat podiatrists practicing in partnerships (458)showed the most distinct preference for part-time assistants. But it was still the 2,738 solopractitioners with full-time assistants and the1,910 solo practitioners with part-time assistantswho accounted for the largest, absolute numbersof supplementary podiatric personnel employedin the United States at the time of the survey.Solo practice was the clinical setting where byfar the greatest number of podiatric assistantswere active.

The age of the podiatrist was reflected in histcndency to employ assistants. Both full-timeand part-time emp~oyment showed roughly. par- -allcl reactions to variations in age (fi~re 5).Peak usage of both full-time and part-timeassistants occurred in the age group 35-44 years;from age 45 on, usage diminished until, amongpodiatrists aged 65 and over, only about 22

percent employed full-time assistants and onlyabout 15 percent employed part-time assistants.

Figure 4 showed the direct relationship thatexisted between an increase in number ofassistants (whether full-time, part-time or both)and the volume of clinical activity as measuredin patient visits and patients - seen per week.Figure 6 shows that these tendencies wereapparent when full-time employment and part-time employment were analyzed separately.Using patient visits per week as the coiltrasting

indicator of clinical volume, the tendency toemploy full-time assistants vaned in direct pro-portion with the number of patient visits re-ported. The tendency to employ part-time assist-ants also increased with an increase in patientvisits, although not in like proportions as forfull-time helpers nor necessarily at the same rateof increase.

Nature of Clinical Activity

Number and percent distribution of podiatristsactive in patfent care by primary and secondarycIinical activity are shown in the table above.

Clefily~ practicing podiatrists showed no markedtendency to specialize. About 90 percent oftheir numbers engaged in generaI practice astheir primary clinical activity. A substantial 22percent reported no secondary activity; when asecondary activity was reported, it was mostfrequently either surgery or foot orthopedics,two close clinical adjuncts to the general prac-tice of podiatry.

Of the remaining secondary activities, podo-geriatrics was the one most commonly engaged

Figure 7 shows median ages of podiatristsengaged in the various primary and secondaryactivities.Youngest among practitioners–median age ofabout 38 years—was the podiatrist who reportedsurgery as his primary clinical activity. Podia-trists primarily active in general practice or +ootorthopedics were typically older than surgeons;they tended to cluster around the nationalmedian age of about 51 years.

Like the practitioners who declared surgery asa primary clinical activity, those who reported itas a secondary activity tended to be markedlyyounger than their colleagues who reportedother secondary activities. As a group, podi;[-

trists who engaged in secondary activities weretypically about 10 years younger (at about 48years of age) than the 22 percent of the nationaltotaI who reported no secondary activity.Mgdian age for the latter group was 58-59 years.

Survey findings revealed that podiatrists whoengaged in four of the six secondary activitieswere typicaIly younger than the natiomd medianage of about 51 years. Only when the secondary

Only those few podiatrists (115) whoengaged secondarily in podiatric dermatologyfell below the national medians in both patientvisits and patients seen per week, a findingprobably due mor; to patient scarcity than toanything unique about the practitioner of podi-atric dermatology or about the cIinical activityitself.

When surgery was reported as the podiatrist’ssecondary activity, there was the same tendencytoward a greater clinical volume as when it wasreported as a primary activity. For those whospecialized secondarily in surgery, the medianrate both in patient visits (83 per week) and in

Podiatrists with surgery as their primary clinicalactivity, duplicating their experi&ce with num-ber of visits and patients seen, showed amarkedly stronger tendency to employ full-timeassistants than dld podiatrists whose primaryactivity was general practice or foot orthopedics.In number, however, such “primary” surgeonswere vastly fewer than their colleagues in generalpractice. It was these 6,361 general practi-tioners, almost 90 percent of the national totalwho, though their tendency to employ full-timehelpers was substantially less pronounced thanthat of their colleagues, still accounted for thevast majority of fulI-time assistants active in theNation at the time of the survey.

Of the podiatrists with no secondary clinicalactivity, only about 27 percent employed full-time assistants. That proportion was almost

doubled by podiatrists who engaged in a second-ary activity; an average of about 51 percent oftheir numbers employed full-time assistants. The——tendency was”not uniform, however, throughoutall six secondary activities. Of the national total(7,078), the overall proportion of podiatrists

12

who employed full-time assistants was about 48percent. This national percentage was exceededby podiatrists in three of the secondary activ-ities: general practice, surgery and podopedi-atrics. It was not equaled by podiatrists whoengaged secondarily in podogenatrics and footorthopedics nor—by the most substantialmargin-by those whose secondary specialty waspodiatric dermatology.

Clinical services rendered (by type). –Thirteenspecific types of clinical service were listed onthe survey questionnaire. Respondents wereasked to check those rendered by them or undertheir direction. The following table ranks these13 services in descending order, from the mostpopularly rendered to the least:

The typical practitioner provided nine of theseservices, in most instances the nine services listedfirst. The other four services were less com-monl y provided; substantially fewer than one-half of the Nation’s practitioners rendered each.of thae services.

Few distinctive age tendencies were evidentamong providers of the different services. Theprevious discussion has indicated the relativeyouthfulness of podiatrists who reported surgeryas a primary or secondary specialty. Thus, it wasnot unusual to find that practitioners whoperformed hospital surgery were typically theyoungest among their colleagues. Median agesranged from a low of 43.2 years for podiatristsperforming hospital surgery to a high of 51.2years for those who listed diathermy among theservices they provided. Predictably, the greatnumber who performed p~-atfve services (98percent of all podiatrists) showed a median agethat closely approximated the national medianof 50.4 years.

When the providers of the different servicesare ranked in descending order according to thenumber of patient visits (for aIl purposes) thatthey experienced per week, the result follows:

Predictably, the private office was by far themost popular clinical setting used by the Na-tion’s podiatrists. Not so predictable, however,was the noteworthy tendency” to provide treat-ments in nursing homes and in the patient’shome, a tendency perhaps partly supported bythe finding that 666 practitioners reportedpodogeriatrics to be their secondary clinicalspecialty.

TECHNICAL PROCEDURES

Background: 1970 Survey of Podiatrists

Most statistical information used in this re-port is the product of a survey of podiatristsconducted January through March 1970 by theNationaI Center for Health Statistics with thecooperation of the American Podiatry Associ-ation.

The survey was conducted by means of aself-administered questionnaire which was in-tended for mailing to all licensed podiatrists inthe United States. The questionnaire was de-signed to gather information from alI licensedpodiatrists, active or inactive, as to geographicIocation, year of birth, States of Iicensure,number of years active in podiatry, and whethercurrently active or inactive in podiatry. For alllicensed podiatrists who were active in podiatry,the questionnaire sought additional informationas to their principal form of employment, thenumber of weeks they worked in podiatricactivities during calendar year 1969, and thenumber of hours per week they usually devotedto all their professional podiatric activities. FGrsurvey respondents who indicated that theyspent any time whatever in patient care, therewere questions designed to gather informationabout the services they rendered, their use ofpersonnel to assist them in their practice, theirprimary and secondary activities, the number ofpatient visits they experienced in the weekpreceding the week of reporting–by age and sexof the patient and by the setting in which thepatient was treated.

A pretest was conducted during October andNovember 1969. The 100 subjects for thepretest were chosen randomIy from an alpha-betical list of licensed podiatrists supplied by theAmerican Podiatry Association. Two mailouts ofthe proposed survey questionnaire were made.

One teIephone folIowup compIeted the pretesteffort, producing a total response rate of about91 percent. An analysis of pretest responsesresulted in minor changes in the wording of thequestionnaire and in the reordering of certainparts within one of the questions in the interestof greater clarity. The final, revised form of thequestionnaire appears as appendix 111.

Data Collection and Processing

For the main survey effort, the total numberof podiatrists was defined as alI persons holdinga Iicense in podiatry in the United States. Theinitial mailing list was compiled by merging thelicensing lists of the 50 States and the District ofColumbia. Lists were suppIied by the AmericanPodiatry Association. The total number of podi-atrists generated from the lists was 9,235. Fromthis number were eliminated duplicates (podia-trists licensed in more than one State) as WC1las podiatrists with foreign addresses, and to thelist were added the graduates of the five ac-credited colleges of podiatry for the 1968-69academic year. This process of merging the 51lists, eliminating duplicates and podiatrists out-side the United States, and adding graduatesresulted in a mailing list of 8,290 potentialrespondents who were then canvassed by mail.

The initial mailing of the survey questionnairewas made in ,January 1970. Three subsequentmailings to follow up on nonrespondents weremade in January and February 1970, the finalmailing by certified mail. The last effort at datacollection, a telephone followup, was conductedduring March 1970. The response rate, after allcollection efforts had been made and afterexcluding deceased and out of scopes, amountedto about 91 percent.

64

After eliminating the deceased, the duplicatesthat had not been discovered prior to mailing,and a few potential subjects who were out ofscope because they were no Ionger licensed, hadleft the United States, or had been mistakenlyassumed to be podiatrists, a total of 8,016podiatrists remained within the scope of thesurvey. The further elimination of refusals,postmaster returns, and other nonresponses re-duced the usable universe to 7,274 “good”responses (table I). To approximate the totals.mivcrse of podiatrists as it would have appearedhad there been no refusals, postmaster returns,m other nonresponses, a weighting or “infla-tion” factor was established for each State fromthe ratio of total podiatrists in that State(excluding deceased and out of scopes) to thenumber of usable (good) responses obtained(table H). Within each State, each good responsereccivcd the same inflated weight. When all theweighted records were cumulated, they yielded(after rounding) a weighted national figure of8,017 for total actives and inactives and a figureof 7,113 for podiatrists who were active in theirprofession at the time of the survey. ‘

For the purposes of the present report weselected as our statistical base those activepodiatrists who indicated that they devotedsome part of their weekly effort—howeversmall-to the direct diaL~osis and treatment ofpodiatric patients. In numbers, this “clinicallyactive” majority amounted to an estimated7,078 podiatrists. This figure is used as the basefor the tables and textual commentary in thisanalysis of the characteristics of the clinical

practice of podiatry in the United States in1970.

To compensate for partial nonresponse withinthe questionnaire, i.e., leaving items unanswered,a second type of adjustment was applied to thedata as received. In such cases, omitted itemswere randomly assigned the response obtainedfrom respondents with similar characteristics,and the total figure for the item was adjusted toinclude this “imputation.” Table III shows thatthe need for this kind of adjustment wasminimal; the item-nonresponse rate was less than2 percent for all items except for the final fouron the questionnaire, which requested infor-mation on number of patient visits and onnumber and characteristics of patients seen. (Seequestionnaire items 19, 20, 20a, 20b, appendixIII.) The comparatively high nonresponse ratefor these items (about 4-7 percent) partly maybe explained by the fact that the questionsappear last in the questionnaire and an appreci-able amount of respondent fatigue may have setin. Probably more provocative of nonresponse,however, was the rather demanding need toconsult records and to classify patients seen byage and sex as well as by the seven possiblesettings in which treatment could have occurred.

Rounding

.Numbers that appear in the present reportwere independently rounded and may not addto totals. Percents were also independentlyrounded and may not always add to 100percent. Percents and rates were calculated onthe basis of original, unrounded figures and willnot necessarily agree with rates and percentsthat might be calculated from rounded data.
