Bubble plot of IH rates by year of publication.
<p><b>Notes</b>: The area of each circle is proportionate to the number of patients. The line of best fit shows that IH rates increase with year of publication.</p
Univariable regression of suture type (absorbable or non-absorbable) on IH rates.
<p><sup>a</sup> Studies with more than one patient group available for analysis.</p><p>Summary Suture type (absorbable versus non-absorbable) had no effect on IH rates.</p><p>Univariable regression of suture type (absorbable or non-absorbable) on IH rates.</p
