Note: Generalized linear models used to assess statistical difference between treatment groups for continuous PDC outcomes. Logistic regression used for PDC ≥ 80% binary outcome.
a Preperiod = April 2012 to March 2013; postperiod = April 2013 to March 2014.
b Group × Time interaction variable is difference-in-difference estimator.
CI = confidence interval; OR = odds ratio; PDC = proportion of days covered; SE = standard error.
