Multilevel regression analysis.
*Adjusted for patient characteristics (sex and age).
†Adjusted as model I+organisation characteristics (the percentage of temporary employees and the mean rate of sickness absence days in the HC).
‡Adjusted as model II + HC service area characteristics (educational level of the residents, median income and unemployment rate).
HbA1c, glycated haemoglobin; HC, health centre.
