Adjusted ORs and 95% CIs for LOC in predicting referral for symptom management^£ (yes=1, no=0)

Predictor	Clinician’s report of severity of bother¶	Patient’s report of severity of bother¶
Bother due to cancer	1.36 (1.16, 1.61)**	1.07 (0.94, 1.23)
Bother due to cancer treatment	1.22 (1.06, 1.43)*	1.05 (0.88, 1.27)
Bother due to side effects	1.54 (1.29, 1.83)**	1.08 (0.93, 1.26)
Bother due to comorbidities	1.72 (1.50, 1.98)**	1.04(0.91, 1.17)

^£Dependent variable was referral for symptom management. Clinician was asked whether patient was referred to any of a total of 12 different symptom management services. The dependent variable was coded yes if patient was referred to ≥1 service, others coded 0.

^¶Both patient’s and clinician’s report of severity of bother were included in the logistic model as independent variables (continuous variables). Same set of adjusting variables included in the multivariable logistic models: age, race/ethnicity, gender; disease site, disease status, disease stage, ECOG Performance Status, current therapy.

OR: odds ratio; CI – Confidence interval; LOC – Lack of Concordance

^**: p <0.001;

^*: p <0.01;
