Percent (%) values calculated relative to total values per group and are subject to rounding error; acute and subacute ratios were calculated as the number of allied health service events occurring during weekends, as a proportion of the total allied health service events for the cluster, over a one-month period; acute ratio alignment with the recommendation is between 0 and 0.001; subacute ratio alignment with the recommendation is between 0.1 and 0.2; missing values removed from analysis.

n, sample; obs, observations; SD, standard deviation.
