Abbreviation: CI, confidence interval.

aPercentages may not sum to 100 because of rounding.

bBaseline values are for the 12-month period prior to the start of the intervention.

cIntervention values are for the 4-week intervention period.

dRepositioning interval for each intervention arm. Each arm included three nursing homes.

eAnalysis of variance used to test for differences among arms.

fMean difference displayed pairwise: arm “x” − arm “y”; value of actual pairwise mean difference; CI (a, b).

gχ2 Used to test for differences among arms.

hPropensity score derived from logistic regression with C-statistic = 0.762.

iTesting is not applicable to pressure injury incidence during the intervention because testing incidence of zero events is not possible.
