I have secondary data on doctor mistakes (outcome variable) for all 50 states in USA by doctor specialty. I mean real numbers per state. I want to assess the relationship between doctor mistakes (outcome variable) and state of doctor practice (predictor #1) and doctor specialty (Predictor #2) (internist, Surgeon and OBGYN).I want to adjust for the following confounders: provider factor, hospital factor, patient factor and miscellaneous factor. I don't have real data for these 4 confounders.

Hypotheses:

1. no association or interaction between doctor mistake and state of doctor practice

2. no association or interaction between doctor mistake and doctor specialty

I want to do 2-way ANOVA using SPSS and my Excel table currently looks like this (other states not shown here):
