Table 3 By Laboratory Test Ordered, Odds Ratio between Presence of Non-interruptive Alerts and the Quantity of Labs Ordered
| Laboratory Test | Total Labs Ordered | Total Alerts Fired | Odds Ratio | 95% Confidence Interval | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alkaline Phosphatase | 18 | 82 | 0.740 | (0.223, 2.456) | 0.623 |
| Alanine Aminotransferase | 483 | 1453 | 0.789 | (0.502, 1.242) | 0.306 |
| Thyroid Stimulating Hormone | 17 | 56 | 0.811 | (0.235, 2.803) | 0.741 |
| Creatinine | 165 | 384 | 1.267 | (0.738, 2.175) | 0.392 |
| Potassium | 744 | 1526 | 1.288 | (0.852, 1.947) | 0.229 |
“Total labs ordered” includes the number of times serum testing was completed in both control and intervention groups within 14 days of the alert firing. “Total alerts fired” includes both the number of times the alert potentially could have fired in the control group and the number of the times the non-interruptive alert did fire in the intervention group.
