Table 3. Comparison of the reason for non-administration of prescribed venous thromboembolism prophylaxis medication doses for the dynamic and static education interventions.

The Pre- and Post-Education periods are defined based upon the overall training period (i.e. excluding all visits within the training period regardless of the individual nurses’ training with a common pre- and post- period).

	Pre-Education % (95% CI)	Post-Education % (95% CI)	Odds Ratio: Post/Pre (95% CI)	Ratio of Odds Ratios: Static/Dynamic (95% CI)	P-value
Reason for Non-administration: Patient or Family Member Refusal
Overall	6.4% (4.2%, 9.7%)	5.9% (3.9%, 9.0%)	0.91 (0.81, 1.02)		0.113§
Dynamic Education	5.6% (3.1%, 10.0%)	5.1% (2.8%, 9.0%)	0.89 (0.75, 1.04)
Static Education	7.3% (4.0%, 13.2%)	7.0% (3.8%, 12.6%)	0.94 (0.81, 1.10)	1.06 (0.85, 1.33)	0.584‡
Reason for Non-administration: Other
Overall	4.1% (3.3%, 5.0%)	3.4% (2.8%, 4.2%)	0.82 (0.73, 0.92)		<0.001§
Dynamic Education	3.4% (2.6%, 4.5%)	2.6% (2.0%, 3.3%)	0.73 (0.60, 0.88)
Static Education	5.0% (3.8%, 6.4%)	4.4% (3.4%, 5.7%)	0.89 (0.76, 1.04)	1.22 (0.93, 1.60)	0.151‡

§The p-value compares whether the overall change in the odds of reason for non-administration differs between pre-education and post-education, regardless of arm assignment.

‡The p-value compares whether the change in the odds of missing an administration differs by arm (i.e. a test of interaction between period and arm).

% = percent; CI = confidence interval.
