aSeptember 2015–August 2016.

bSeptember 2016–August 2017.

+Non-CMO, without care manager organisation.

++CMO, care manager organisation.

1Measured by whether the PCCs had received earmarked reimbursement for their geographical location (e.g. distant location from large city or hospital, location on an island without bridge connection, etc.) during the study period.

2Mean proportion = mean number of patients with CMD divided by mean number of listed patients at each PCC.

3Mean proportion = mean number of patients with CMD who had at least one visit to a care manager divided by mean number of patients with CMD at each PCC.

4Mean proportion = mean number of sick listed patients with CMD divided by mean number of patients with CMD at each PCC.
