aAll adjusted rate ratios (aRR) represent fully-adjusted coefficients adjusting for system factors simultaneously in a negative binomial regression model using generalized estimating equations and an exchangeable correlation matrix to control for facility-level correlation

bStaffing variables are excluded from F00-F09, F10-F19, F30-F39, F40-F48, and F70-F79 models due to small sample size and instability in estimates if included
