Notes. All models include all controls in Equation (1), including attending physician and chief complaint fixed effects. Robust standard errors clustered by attending physician are shown in parentheses. Table A4 shows the results for the first stage of CF for column (1), and Table A5 provides the estimation results without adjusting for endogeneity.
