^$ Insufficient N for Primary Care Only; unable to compare.
* p < 0.05
**p < .01
***N that could potentially qualify for inclusion in analysis if all inclusion criteria for a specific quality indicator are met.
The numerator in each column represents the number of possible care processes that were performed; the denominator represents the number of possible care processes. For specific numbers of patients, and specific indicators included in each aspect of epilepsy care please refer to Table 2.
