^*Number of observations varies due to sporadically missing data.

^†Percentage of respondents who reported a guideline-concordant screening.

^‡Number of respondents who reported having no morbidities or a given condition.

^§Statistically significant difference in screening among subjects with a morbidity (in addition to others) versus subjects without such morbidity using a chi-square test of independence or Fisher’s exact, p < 0.05.

^‖Statistically significant difference, p < 0.01.
