4 – 5 −6.4% −25.2% −26.6% −35.2% −19.0% −30.5%

11+ −24.2% −6.7% −8.7% −23.4% −15.2% −19.4%

Statistical significance of the effect of number of calls was tested using multivariate logistic regression for the difference-in-difference change (increase or no change versus decrease from baseline to 12- or 18-month program period) in hospital admissions controlling for age, sex, number of core diseases, and hospitalizations in prior 24 months (y/n).
