Impact of Ratings of Interactions with Providers and Health Plans in Worst vs. Better Quartiles on Probability of Clinically Important Increase in Disease Damage, with and without Adjustment for Demographic Characteristics and Socioeconomic Status, SLE and Overall Health Status, Health Behaviors, and Health Care Characteristics

Measures of Interactions Unadjusted Adjusted

 Shared Decision-making 1.25 (0.67, 2.35) 1.27 (0.65, 2.49)
 Trust 1.64 (0.88, 3.06) 1.63 (0.85, 3.14)
Individual Health Plan Domains
 Care Coordination 1.88 (0.99, 3.57) 2.20 (1.12, 4.34) *
 Promptness/Timeliness of Care 1.08 (0.58, 2.03) 1.33 (0.68, 2.60)
