Significant difference among different levels of hospitals in 2019. Comparisons of familiarity and compliance were analyzed by Kruskal–Wallis one-way ANOVA (k samples), while other comparisons were analyzed by the χ2 test combined with the Bonferroni test. vs. university-affiliated hospital group. vs. nonaffiliated hospital group. All data were presented as absolute values and percentages of total number of responses from the corresponding hospitals.
