Table 6 Risk‐adjusted mortality and specialist nurse provision ratio categories.
Specialist nurse provision ratio | p Value | Odds Ratio (95% C.I.*) |
---|---|---|
<1.0 | 0.03 | Referent Category |
1.0–1.2 | 0.105 | 0.63 (0.37 to 1.10) |
1.3–1.8 | 0.006 | 0.52 (0.33 to 0.83) |
>1.8 | 0.08 | 0.57 (0.31 to 1.08) |
*The odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals are derived using logistic regression modelling with an odds ratio <1 indicating a decrease in odds relative to high volume/consultant/nursing units.
