Table 4 Primary analysis – healing rate

From: Pressure ulcer multidisciplinary teams via telemedicine: a pragmatic cluster randomized stepped wedge trial in long term care

Description of model

Pre-intervention slope (β) NB: negative values indicate healing

Effect of intervention

  

Change in slope (Δ0) NB: values < 0 indicate benefit

Relative effect on healing NB: values < 1 indicate benefit
