Table 6. Frequency and proportion of codes assigned to verbalizations about the trailing diagnosis (Verb_Trail).

Verb_Trail All cues: single-scale All cues: separate-scales Total
Supportive 114 (54%) 112 (55%) 226 (55%)
Non-supportive 14 (7%) 53 (26%) 67 (16%)
Unclear 43 (20%) 24 (12%) 67 (16%)
Nothing 39 (19%) 16 (8%) 55 (13%)
Total 210a 205a 415

a Each group evaluated 225 cues in total (9 per physician). Thirty-two cues were excluded (single-scale = 14; separate-scales = 18), as the physicians in question held no leading diagnosis at the time that these cues were evaluated (diagnostic likelihood = 0). Three cues were not verbally evaluated due to technical problems (single-scale = 1; separate-scales = 2).
