Table 6:
Impact of factors independently associated with overall prevention score, by preventive manoeuvre*
| Factor | Preventive manoeuvre; odds ratio (95% CI) | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cervical cancer screening | Breast cancer screening | Influenza vaccination | Colorectal cancer screening | Hearing examination | Eye examination | |
| Presence of ≥ 1 female family physician | 1.7 (1.2 to 2.4) | 1.3 (0.8 to 2.1) | 1.4 (0.9 to 2.0) | 1.6 (1.1 to 2.2) | 0.9 (0.5 to 1.9) | 1.3 (0.7 to 2.2) |
| Panel size < 1600 patients per FTE family physician | 1.6 (1.2 to 2.2) | 1.3 (0.8 to 2.0) | 1.4 (1.0 to 2.2) | 1.3 (0.9 to 1.9) | 1.9 (1.0 to 3.8) | 1.6 (0.9 to 2.7) |
| Presence of electronic reminder system | 1.2 (0.8 to 1.7) | 1.7 (1.0 to 2.8) | 1.3 (0.9 to 2.0) | 1.2 (0.8 to 1.7) | 2.3 (1.1 to 4.7) | 1.6 (0.9 to 2.9) |
Note: CI = confidence interval, FTE = full-time equivalent.

Results of the multilevel linear regression analyses with variables from Table 5 (Analysis D) and in which each preventive manoeuvre in turn was the dependent variable are shown to demonstrate the association between each factor and the individual preventive manoeuvre.
