  1. a Prevalence of amniotomy in each hospital category
  2. b Pearson chi-square test (the group all hospitals are not included)
  3. c Pairwise comparisons using the Pearson chi-square test with Bonferroni corrected p-values (< 0.005); significant differences are presented as: A = 1 ≠ 2, B = 1 ≠ 3, C = 1 ≠ 4, D = 1 ≠ 5, E = 2 ≠ 3, F = 2 ≠ 4, G = 2 ≠ 5, H = 3 ≠ 4, I = 3 ≠ 5, J = 4 ≠ 5
