Secondary analysis of the primary outcome using repeated measures ANOVA will be carried out using the 3, 12 and 24 month HbA1c values for the two groups and will also involve a more detailed exploratory analysis of the impact of clinic level factors on HbA1c outcome using a two level linear multi-level regression model.
Our large sample size and incorporation of clinic level factors expands on previous research in this field [ 8, 20, 21].
We identified 11 potential clinics based on diversity of clinic-level adherence rates and geography [ 33].
Other reports indicate that data collected at clinic level and reported by national health programmes in developing countries cannot be relied on for disease or programme surveillance.
Primary analyzes were conducted on six-two-level models: sessions (level 1) nested within children (level 2), sessions (level 1) within clinician (level 2), sessions (level 1) within clinic (level 2), child (level 1) within clinician (level 2), child (level 1) within clinic (level 2), and clinician (level 1) within clinic (level 2).
The allocation was performed at clinic level.
Nevertheless, the present time-trend geo-maps enable more detailed analyses for the possible local reasons for the certain changes in SmRRs on parish and/or clinic level.
MC56: Need to concentrate on clinical duties and research work at the clinic level.
In summary, these findings suggest that changes in the multinational funding landscape had an impact on ART initiation at the clinic level in Uganda.
However, exploratory analysis of the impact of patient level factors (e.g. age and gender) and clinic level factors (e.g. size of clinic) on the effect of the intervention will be carried out.
Second, the GSF model's impact on client usage behavior was assessed using multiple outcome measures at both the individual level and clinic level.
