All the models were adjusted for centre effect using a random intercept which is not presented as its variance in all the models was smaller than 10−8, this may be interpreted as a random intercept variance not statistically different from zero. Global p-values in model 2a type of care center: p < 0.016; in model 2b age: p = 0.029, type of care center: p = 0.013; in model 2c age: p = 0.050, social deprivation index: p = 0.709, distance to the care center: p = 0.456, type of care center: p = 0.005; in model 2d age: p = 0.037, social deprivation index: p = 0.805, distance to the care center: p = 0.612, type of care center: p = 0.009
