All experience measures were dichotomised. See online supplementary appendix table A2 for details.
Adjusted ORs were derived from logistic regression models that adjusted for trust (as a random effect at trust level) and the following variables as fixed effects at patient level: age, sex, ethnicity, reason for admission (elective vs emergency), whether had operation/procedure, day case vs overnight stay, previous experience of inpatient or day case care (1–3 vs 4+ admissions within the past 6 months), presence of any long-standing condition, ward type (children’s/adolescent/adult).
