Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Utilization of North Carolina General Hospitals: A Geographic Analysis As was noted in the methodology section, the R2 statistic indicates the proportion of the total variance in the dependent variable that is accounted for by all of the independent variables. Thus we can account for around 40 percent of the variation in discharges age 0-13 per population and 55 percent of the variance in the age 65 and over rates. For ages 14-64 and the total dis charge rate, over 60 percent of the variance is accounted for by the regression equations, which is a reasonably good level of prediction. Other findings in Table 2 include the consistently posi tive effect on utilization of the percent of the population that are Medicare disabled enrollees. As was stated before, the percent Medicare disabled enrollees could be highly correlated with other variables that have a more direct impact on utilization. Average length of stay, meanwhile, has a consistently inverse relationship to the utilization rates. This negative relationship was also found in the correlation analysis.
