Note: CI = confidence interval, FTAGREE = physicians who were classified as working full-time by both methods, FTSPTI = physicians who were classified as working full-time by the service day activities method and part-time by the income percentiles method, PTAGREE = physicians who were classified as working part-time by both methods, PTSFTI = physicians who were classified as working part-time by the service day activities method and full-time by the income percentiles method.
