Erosion: Our OWN Statistics.

It seems to me that we have an excellent opportunity to answer our own question regarding erosions.

We have a superb sampling of banded folks from all regions. I will be collating data to try and help us all see a snapshot of what is happening and where.

If you want to take part in this very unofficial study, Throw on a post (or PM Me) and I'll start collating.

RULES!!

Please only report your data. If you report data for another LBT'er I need their username as well as their stats. I won't accept spouses or friends unless they have a user account. Remember, this is LBT statistics, not LBT, plus everyone I know who has a band! :heh:

Format for Submission of Data:

Date Banded:

Country:

Doctor:

Erodoed: Y/N

If Eroded Date Removed:

If you don't give me all the information I can NOT add you to the data. If you don't supply data, I will try and PM you to request missing data.

PERMANENT DISCLAIMER!!!

This study is not intended to impugn, malign, or misrepresent surgeons and their ability to perform. This is a simple collection of numbers. So, if you see items like: Lopez 100% next to number of erosions, be sure to look and see just how many have reported. If 1 person reports, and 1 person erodes, thats 100%.

The more people take part, the better the data becomes!

Privacy

Anyone who wishes to submit their information by personal message will have their identity kept confidential. I will not reveal to anyone on LBT (or outside of LBT) their usernames or any other personal information provided to me.

TEMPORARY DISCLAIMER!!!

These figures show an INCREDIBLY high erosion rate due to the very small sampling of folks in the study. Don't Panic!

================================

This data is updated daily by midnight US. EST.

***** Apologies Folks, it appears when the thread moved formatting was lost and can not be put back in. I'll ask Alex if it can be 'fixed' but we may not be able to host these stats anymore ****

Stuff happens. :puke:

Since the data presentation got screwed up and isn't fixable, we're locking this thread. Sorry!
