6. Additional health maintenance recommendations (out of 4 for female, out of 2 for male)	0.21 (0.31)	0.57 (0.37)	−3.13**	1.03
7. Possible social issues discussion (out of 4)	1.13 (0.97)	1.38 (1.49)	−1.05	–
Total adherence to survivorship care plan (out of 39 for female, out of 35 for male)	0.27 (0.10)	0.68 (0.15)	−10.11***	3.23

Given that the categories of “specific physician recommendations” and “additional health maintenance recommendations” differed for male and female patients (e.g., the recommendation of Pap smear is applicable only to female patients), we calculated a percentage score for the two categories. The final category, i.e., “Total adherence to survivorship care plan” also presents a percentage score
