Completion of each three monthly follow-up injury questionnaire represented 0.25 years of data. For year 1, for example, any participant could contribute 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 or 1.0 years of injury follow-up data.
*The adjusted model controlled for: number of siblings under the age of 16 years; maternal age at the time of birth of the first child; the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) of the home postcode, whether the family lived in a single-adult household; the corresponding baseline variable (where collected); and the matched wards factor.
†Baseline rates were based on the number of events that were reported to have occurred in the 3 months prior to the intervention.
‡The model did not initially converge so the ‘Matched wards’ factor was removed to enable convergence.
§The ratio of events is 0:1 and the upper 95% CI cannot be defined.
¶A Poisson model was used.
**Model did not converge following removal of matched wards.
