Table 2. Total numbers and percentages for each demographic under all 3 SP codes and by referrals and declines.

The ‘Exposure and practice population’ column shows the total number of cases pulled under all three SP codes (total SP dataset) by whole number and percentage split for the demographic. A comparison to the percentage within the practice population is shown where data is available. Where there is missing data in the dataset this is indicated. The ‘Referral and decline’ rates column show comparisons between demographics and percentages within demographic (i.e. percentage of [male declines]/[male total SP dataset]) Relevant significant results are indicated with ▼ (low) or ▲ (high) and marked in bold. Chi-square with Cramer’s V (p<0.05).
