[i] Note: Basic teams as the reference group. The dependent variable was IC scores, and the mediator was IPC scores. All analyses were adjusted for team size, establishment year, and the ratio of contracted residents to general practitioners. A 95% confidence interval (CI) excluding zero indicates statistically significant mediation.
