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).
