	PCP office visit	Any office visit
	Hazard ratio (95 % confidence interval)	Hazard ratio (95 % confidence interval)
Model 1: unadjusted	1.04 (0.86, 1.25)	1.21 (1.03, 1.43)
Model 2: adjusted for basic covariates	1.07 (0.88, 1.29)*	1.11 (0.95, 1.32)†
Model 3: Model 2 stratified by HDPS	0.98 (0.80, 1.24)	1.04 (0.87, 1.25)
