aindicates that post intervention there was an increase of between 10 and 19% in the documentation of the risk factors in those patient records without risk factor documentation at baseline. (also indicated by light shading)

bindicates that post intervention there was an increase of ≥20% in the documentation of the risk factor in those patient records without risk factor documentation at baseline. (also indicated by dark shading)

cThe proportion of full-time equivalent GPs who consented to participate in the intervention related to the total number of FTE GPs in the practice

dFacilitator perception of practice engagement. The symbol ➔ implies transition of engagement over the course of the intervention

eProportion of records with data sufficient to measure cardiovascular risk

fTargets for each indicator were cardiovascular risk: ≥40%, serum cholesterol: ≥50%, blood sugar: ≥50%, blood pressure: ≥80%, smoking status: ≥90%, body mass index ≥25% waist circumference: ≥10%, alcohol consumption: ≥40%
