Adjusted model uses data from 475 hospitals due to missing variables in three observations

§Interaction with STAAR was nonsignificant

llUnadjusted association Estimate = 0.41; 95 % CI = −0.76, −0.07; p value = 0.019

In separate models, the number of strategies taken up was not significantly associated with follow-up RSRR adjusted for baseline RSRR

#All analyses use RSRR as a continuous variable

**The number of strategies in place at baseline was not significant in the unadjusted or adjusted models and does not meaningfully alter the results
