aNo-shows are count measures and negative binomial regression was used.

bDischarged or transferred with staff approval is binary and logistic regression was used.

cOR: odds ratio.

dItalic formatting indicates statistical significance at P<.05.

eClinician age is measured categorically (1: 18-25, 2: 26-35, 3: 36-45, 4: 46-55, 5: 56-65, and 6: 65 years and older).
