  • Note: Analysis accounted for minimal clustering effects and for the stratification variable clinic panel size; see Appendix 3 for the model. Correlation structure: autoregressive of order 1. Inference is based on robust standard error. See Appendix 1 for details of the statistical model. CI = confidence interval, Q = quarter of year, Ref. = referent.
