Table 1. Effect of an electronic alert on Kayexalate ordering. The multivariate model is adjusted for trends in Kayexalate ordering over time.
Table 2. Effect of an electronic alert on Kayexalate ordering – limited to patients with mild hyperkalemia. Mild hyperkalemia was defined as serum potassium 4.9 to 5.4 mEq/L. The multivariate model is adjusted for trends in Kayexalate ordering over time.
