a
To derive P values for count values, we used a 2-sample test for equality of proportions with continuity correction. To derive P values for mean values, we used the Welch 2-sample t test.
b
We reported a minimum and maximum for bed count to better depict the range of facility sizes, as this variable was not normally distributed.
