aLabor share was calculated in the United States and the United Kingdom due to having multiple clinics observed in each country (6 and 3, respectively). As only one clinic was observed in Germany and France, there were insufficient data to perform this analysis in these countries.

bClinical cardiac physiologists in the United Kingdom carry out procedures and investigations on patients related to diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment.

cThe Other Patient Management data were only collected in the United States.
