Unadjusted and adjusted Median Odds Ratios (MOR) per country. The diagram shows the multilevel analysis of the variance of GPs’ prescribing style. Model A (light grey): prescription of antibiotics is only a function of GPs’ prescribing style. Model B (medium grey): prescription of antibiotics is a function of GPs’ prescribing style and patient characteristics. Model C (dark grey): prescription of antibiotics is a function of GPs’ prescribing style, patient and GP characteristics. When MOR = 1, there is no variation in GPs’ prescribing styles. The higher the MOR, the more variation in GPs’ prescribing styles.
