Figure 1. Poisson regression analysis. Pattern of follow-up rate over time for femur and tibia fractures in the SOSD. The color band signifies the 80% range of values between countries.

Figure 3. Follow-up rate plotted against log change in the infection rate. The curve is based on a generalized additive regression model (gam). Dotted lines represent 95% CI. With follow-up over 5%, there is very little increase in infection rate and the curve is consequently nearly horizontal. Short vertical lines on x-axis represent observations in different countries.
