       > Estimated wait times were shorter for female patients,
       compared with male patients (-7.0 days; 95% CI -7.8 to -6.2),
       and for stroke (-8.2 days; 95% CI -9.5 to -6.9), dizziness or
       vertigo (-7.8 days; 95% CI -10.4 to -5.1), and traumatic brain
       injury (-6.5 days; 95% CI -8.0 to -5.1) and longer for multiple
       sclerosis (+4.0 days; 95% CI 2.0-6.1. The Northeast Census
       region had the longest waits (+4.6 days; 95% CI 3.3-6.0).
