Costs were calculated by multiplying charges by the cost-to-charge ratio for the relevant calendar year and cost center.
P-value remained significant (P≤.05) after multiplicity adjustment using the Bonferroni correction.
Seventy-five patients who died in Years 1 and 2 (38 intervention and 37 usual care) were not included in Year 3 calculations.
Forty-five patients who died in Years 1 and 2 (26 intervention and 19 usual care) were not included in Year 3 calculations.
Thirty patients who died in Years 1 and 2 (12 intervention and 18 usual care) were not included in Year 3 calculations.
SD =standard deviation.
