Effect of Clinical Complexity on Odds of Receiving Recommended Care in Expected from Multivariable Model

  Odds ratio 95% CI -value**
Overall process performance higher than expected 1.13 1.09 to 1.18 <.001
Mammography 0.90 0.75 to 1.09 0.27
Colon cancer screening 1.07 1.02 to 1.12 0.006
Influenza vaccination 1.39 1.30 to 1.49 <.001
Pneumococcal vaccination 1.30 1.21 to 1.40 <.001
Lipids checked 1.63 1.44 to 1.84 <.001
ACE-I in heart failure 0.88 0.75 to 1.02 0.08
Diabetic eye examination 1.13 1.04 to 1.23 0.002

*The relationship between clinical complexity and each performance measure is estimated separately using multivariate regression controlling for age, age-squared, race, sex, and income category

**P-value based on hierarchical logistic regression results
