  • *Intra cluster correlation coefficient for team clustering=0.05 (bootstrap 95% CI 0.01 to 0.08).

  • †For age n=2504 and for IMD quintile n=2431.

  • ‡ATI and number of professional groups are highly correlated (correlation coefficient 0.8). When included individually in model 2, each showed a significant relationship: OR for ATI=0.38 (95% CI 0.23 to 0.63) p<0.001, OR for number of professional groups=0.76 (95% CI 0.67 to 0.87) p<0.001.
