Note. Fisher’s exact tests were performed for categorical variables (ED annual volume, teaching status, technology status, trauma center), and global ANOVA tests were performed for continuous variables (Avg. % of clinicians rating their work environment as poor).
ANOVA indicates analysis of variance; Avg., average; ED, emergency department; ICU, intensive care unit.
