Abbreviation: CI, confidence interval; APR, adjusted prevalence ratio.
Age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population by direct method using age groups 20–44, 45–64, and ≥65.
Adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education level, income-to-poverty ratio, health insurance status, and times received care in the previous 12 months.
