  1. a: Overall p-values for testing the equality of admissions rates between the three categories of periods
  2. The associations are expressed in ratios of admission rate during periods with a match compared with periods without tennis match (reference category). A ratio lower than 1 indicates a decrease in the admission rate compared with the reference category, e.g. a ratio of 0.90 in periods with a tennis match means that the admission rate is 10% lower in these periods than in periods without tennis match. All associations were adjusted for centers (HUG/CLC), day of the week, season and year of the tennis match
