Statistical Analysis
REGRESSION, SECONDARY
We used descriptive statistics such as frequencies as well as means and standard deviations to describe characteristics of the study population. To compare primary and secondary outcomes between patients with a passive, collaborative, and active DCP, we performed one-way ANOVA.Additionally, to evaluate differences between patients with passive and collaborative as well as passive and active DCP regarding primary and secondary outcomes, we conducted linear and logistic regression analyses. Further, we calculated linear and logistic regression models adjusted for study center and randomization. In an additional exploratory analysis, we also adjusted the model for age, gender, and education (presented in the Finally, we performed subgroup analyses for the different DCP categories stratified by study intervention for patients’ subjective knowledge and occurrence of sensitive topics as well as duration of ward round and calculated interaction terms. All analyses were performed using the intention-to-treat analysis sample of the original trial. A
