Table 3.
Prevalence of patients considering it important having an RGP and logistic regression results for the variable importance of having an RGP (dependent variable), and gender and age (independent variables).
| Characteristics | Prevalence | Adjusted OR (95% CI) | Significance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Importance of RGP | n = 399 | ||
| Yes, n (%) | 342 (86) | N/A | |
| No, n (%) | 13 (3) | N/A | |
| Neutral, n (%) | 44 (11) | N/A | |
| Importance of RGP, gender | n = 398 | ||
| Women yes, n (%) | 210 (87) | 1.620; 95% CI (0.901–2.911) | p = .107 |
| Men yes, n (%) | 131 (83) | ||
| Importance of RGP, age | n = 399 | ||
| <65 yes, n (%) | 149 (78) | p < .0001 | |
| ≥65 yes, n (%) | 193 (92) | 3.552; 95% CI (1.899–6.643) |
CI: confidence interval; OR: odds ratio; RGP: regular general practitioner.
The question regarding importance of RGP was asked as a Likert scale and was dichotomized for OR.
