Fig 3
Heat map of standardised prescription rates by ED (95% CI).
All adjusted for age, sex, season, comorbidity, referral, triage urgency, fever measured at ED, fever duration, alarming signs, CRP, chest X-ray, urinalysis, focus of infection, and cause of infection. EDs are ordered according to standardised antibiotic prescribing rate, from low to high on the left vertical axis. The coloured boxes represent rank of standardised rate for each ED: Red indicates rates > 1, blue indicates rates < 1, and rates equal to 1 are white. *Also adjusted for previous antibiotic use.
