Table 4. Unnecessary admissions and discharges if 5% threshold was adhered to at intervention sites using QUiPP app versus control sites using conventional management.
Per protocol unnecessary management outcomes per visit | Intervention sites with QUiPP risks n/total (%) |
Control sites n/total (%) |
Both groups n/total (%) |
AOR | 95% CI |
