| Facility Vulnerability Indices | Ultrasound RR (95% CI) |
MRI RR (95% CI) |
Ultrasound Guided Biopsy RR (95% CI) |
MR Guided Biopsy RR (95% CI) |
Stereotactic Guided Biopsy RR (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Education: at least 15.8% of adults educated below high school graduation | 0.99 (0.75, 1.33) | 0.86 (0.49, 1.50) | 1.13 (0.82, 1.54) | 1.40 (0.77, 2.53) | 0.95 (0.55, 1.64) |
| Race/ethnicity: at least 34.5% self-reporting minority status | 1.03 (0.82, 1.28) | 1.36 (0.70, 2.62) | 1.28 (0.88, 1.85) | 2.27 (1.19, 4.32) | 1.51 (0.99, 2.32) |
| Rurality: at least 68.1% rural residents | 1.40 (1.07, 1.82) | 0.33 (0.11, 1.00) | 1.45 (0.93, 2.25) | 0.46 (0.15, 1.46) | 0.93 (0.47, 1.86) |
| Income: Average census-based median income below $52,517 | 1.31 (1.06, 1.60) | 0.68 (0.37, 1.27) | 1.35 (0.94, 1.94) | 0.81 (0.39, 1.67) | 1.04 (0.59, 1.84) |
| At least one vulnerability indicator | 1.38 (1.09, 1.74) | 0.71 (0.42, 1.19) | 1.67 (1.30, 2.14) | 1.07 (0.61, 1.90) | 1.18 (0.75, 1.85) |
Note: Relative risk estimates were obtained from unadjusted log binomial GEE models clustering on practice (within site). Confidence intervals (CIs) are based on robust sandwich estimator standard errors.
