Table 3 Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis comparing follow-up data (26–54 months) for SF-36 PF (physical function) and WOMAC function in patients operated on with hybrid or cemented technique (dependent variables) adjusted for age, sex, follow-up time and baseline values (explanatory variables) in the multivariate analysis.

From: Patient Relevant Outcomes after total hip replacement. A comparison between different surgical techniques
