  1. Multivariable random effects logistic regression of the association between country of birth and ethnicity and treatment outcome stratified by hospital caseload, England, 2006–2012. Models adjusted for clustering by hospital and for the variables listed in Table 4
  2. aOdds of an unfavourable versus a good or neutral treatment outcome; records missing an outcome excluded
  3. bMean caseload per hospital over the preceding 3 years
  4. CI Confidence interval, OR Cluster-specific odds ratio
