Question - Huang, M-H., Hsieh, H-Y., & van de Mortel, T. (2019). The impact of the addition of nurse practitioners to surgical intensive care units: A retrospective cohort study. Australian Critical Care, 32, 244-248.

Look at Table 1 - Comparison of patient characteristics before and after the addition of NPs on p. 246. This table uses statistics to determine if the patient populations were similar before and after NPs were added to the care team. Look at the far-right column with p values. This is when you do not want significant p values (i.e. p ≤ .05).

You want the groups to be similar at baseline. These groups have many characteristics that are not similar. This is not unusual with this type of design, but you should consider if the differences may have affected study outcomes.
