Effect of Clinical Complexity on Odds of Receiving Recommended Care Controlling for Visit Number in Multivariate Models Controlling for Patient Characteristics*
| Odds ratio | 95% CI | -value** | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overall process performance higher than expected | 0.92 | 0.88 to 0.96 | <.001 |
| Mammography | 0.60 | 0.49 to 1.11 | <.001 |
| Colon cancer screening | 0.97 | 0.92 to 1.00 | 0.23 |
| Influenza vaccination | 1.03 | 0.96 to 0.97 | 0.36 |
| Pneumococcal vaccination | 1.13 | 1.05 to 0.96 | <.001 |
| Lipids checked | 1.08 | 0.96 to 0.82 | 0.22 |
| ACE-I in heart failure | 0.74 | 0.63 to 1.00 | <.001 |
| Diabetic eye examination | 0.70 | 0.65 to 1.09 | <.001 |
*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
