  1. aNumber of patient pathways who received 100% of the recommended care according to the clinical condition divided by the number of patient pathways eligible for the care. All patients have a minimum of two relevant process performance measures. bRR Relative Risk. Adjusted for dependence between observations at patient level and cluster effect at hospital level. cCI Confidence interval. dRD Risk difference. Adjusted for cluster effect at hospital level. eAdjusted for dependence between observations at patient level and cluster effect at hospital level
