† P values for continuous variable analyses are from the independent sample t test for well-child visits, which are normally distributed, and from the Mann-Whitney U test for ED visits and hospitalizations, which are not normally distributed.
‡ P values for categorical variable analyses are from the Pearson χ2 test.
