For each hospital in preintervention and postintervention periods, the number of SPCs, the number of all charts and percentage of SPCs out of all charts are reported.
*T-test comparing average difference in proportions between intervention and control group. Percentage difference and 95% CI are reported.
†Zero-inflated negative Binomial regression models. Outcome is number of SPCs in postintervention period, adjusting for preintervention proportion of SPCs . Exposure is all charts. Risk ratios and 95% CI are reported.
