Box and whisker plot for daily percent LWBS on days with and without a PA: Values represent the median and interquartile range, and bars represent the minimum and maximum values; a Kruskal-Wallis test was used (P < .001).
- Figure 2.
Box and whisker plot for 90th percentile PIA time on days with and without a PA: Values represent the median and interquartile range, and bars represent the minimum and maximum values; a Kruskal-Wallis test was used (P < .001).

Average PIA time on days with and without a PA: Values represent the mean (SD) and 95% CI. An independent samples t test comparing the 2 groups was statistically significant (P < .001).
- Figure 4.
Average length of stay on days with and without a PA: Values represent the mean (SD) and 95% CI. An independent samples t test comparing the 2 groups was statistically significant (P < .001).
