a

Number of facilities with data at specified time points.

b

Percentage of facilities meeting the benchmark at each time point.

c

P-values from a Wald test for trend in logistic regression with generalized estimating equations to account for clustering by facility. All P-values >0.20 are suppressed. Data on known minimal status and known stage were not collected for CY 2006, therefore no facilities have 5 time points available on these benchmarks.
