^aDependent Variable: Number of visits patients made to emergency or urgent care departments for gout over the preceding year;

^*Non-Emergency/urgent Care = total gout-related primary care physician, nurse practitioner, physician’s assistant and rheumatologist visits, and visits to other health practitioners for gout. Unstd, unstandardized; Std., standardized

The t-test and significance values express significance of each unstandardized B coefficient.

^bDependent Variable: Number of visits patients made to a primary care (primary care physician, nurse, or physician’s assistant) for gout over the preceding year.
