No imputation for missing data was conducted.
Analyses both with and without missing data were conducted and the results were the same.
Sensitivity analyses to examine the impact of missing data were conducted (Table 3).
Given the low prevalence of missing data, we conducted complete case analysis.
Thus, multiple imputations of missing data were conducted and analysis was based on the data set with imputed data.
To account for the potential bias caused by missing data, we conducted our analyses using a multiple imputation approach.
We explored different methods of imputation of missing data, and conducted all analysis excluding missing data and also using imputations to check whether there were differences between the results using different approaches.
A comparison between the percentage of patient records within the identified hotspot locations (locations A and B) with missing clinical data, and those in the remainder of the practice region with missing data, was conducted.
