Effect of integrated infectious disease training and on-site support on the management of childhood illnesses in Uganda: a cluster randomized trial

Table 5 Sensitivity analysis: Adjusted relative risks (95 % confidence intervals) of performing task correctly for the endline sample across arms

Sets of clinical tasks
Effects	Patient history	Physical examination	Laboratory tests	Diagnosis	Treatment	Patient/caregiver education
Sample Size	N = 312	N = 350	N = 323	N = 345	N = 350	N = 346
Arm A vs Arm B at time 1	1.24 (1.14-1.35)	1.26 (1.12-1.41)	1.02 (0.91-1.15)	1.10 (0.95-1.28)	1.08 (1.01-1.16)	1.13 (1.02-1.25)

Two additional patient history tasks were asking for presence of danger signs and measles status. Two additional physical systems examined were mouth and growth assessment
Estimates were adjusted for: sequence of clinical assessment, cadre of trainee, complexity of patient determined by number of diagnoses and age of patient less than one year, whether the health facility received support from the Health Care Improvement project or not, whether the facility received on-site intervention from Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative or not, and the clinical faculty determined by cadre of faculty and whether s/he attended relevant assessment training session or not
