^*Difference between mean scores for “teaching” and “non-teaching” patients. Positive values indicate “teaching” scores were higher than “non-teaching” scores.

^†Difference between adjusted mean scores for “teaching” patients compared with “non-teaching” patients. Positive values indicate “teaching” scores were higher than “non-teaching” scores.
