A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with safety culture using nine predictor variables that included age, emergency department (ED) duty, number of patients, encounter of an incident and experience of incident reporting. Only statistically significant items were extracted. For all data, see online supplemental file 2.
