Singleton-birth infants	1 225 632	511	41.7	1 [Reference]	1 [Reference]

Abbreviations: RAR, retract-and-reorder; NA, not applicable.

^{^a}

Retract-and-reorder events are defined as 1 or more orders placed for a patient that are retracted (ie, canceled) by the same clinician within 10 minutes, then reordered by the same clinician for a different patient within the next 10 minutes.

^{^b}

Odds ratios and 95% CIs were calculated using logistic regression analyses.

^{^c}

Analysis was adjusted for sex, race/ethnicity, and health insurance status.

^{^d}

P < .001.

^{^e}

The total number of orders for multiple-birth infants was used as the denominator to calculate the rate of extrafamilial (ie, between multiple-birth infants and nonsiblings) and intrafamilial (ie, between multiple-birth infants and siblings) RAR events.
