Table 2 Decision-making Outcomes Across Hospitals and Conditions

		Hospital 1	Hospital 2	Hospital 3	Hospital 4	Overall
	Sample Size	TJR = 141 Spine = 71	TJR = 134 Spine = 78	TJR = 31 Spine = 54	TJR = 99 Spine = 38	TJR = 405 Spine = 241
Shared Decision Making Process M (SD)	TJR	2.2 (1.1)	2.1 (1.1)	2.2 (1.1)	2.3 (1.1)	2.2 (1.1)
Shared Decision Making Process M (SD)	Spine	2.8 (1.0)	2.9 (1.1)	2.6 (1.0)	2.8 (1.0)	2.8 (1.0)
% Informed^a	TJR	78%	84%	67%	92%	83%
% Informed^a	Spine	60%	56%	64%	63%	60%
% Preferred Surgery	TJR	86%	82%	87%	84%	84%
% Preferred Surgery	Spine	66%	68%	70%	63%	67%
Informed, Patient-Centered rate	TJR	68%	70%	62%	77%	70%

Note: A total of 7 patients did not have shared decision making process scores, 6 patients did not have a treatment preference, 15 patients did not have a knowledge score, and 21 patients did not have an informed, patient-centered score
TJR Total joint replacement, M Mean, SD Standard deviation, SDM Shared Decision Making; ^apatients were considered “informed” if they answered at least 60% (for patients who had TJR) or 40% (for patients who had spine surgery) of the knowledge questions correctly.
