^aThe Picker Continuity and Coordination subscale is a proportion of total number of positive responses to total number of responses. Higher scores indicate the higher perceived continuity of care.

^bMean summed scores are presented for the POS with a maximum score of 40. Higher scores indicate worse quality of care.

^cMean summed scores are presented for the ESAS with a maximum score of 90. Higher scores indicate higher symptom distress.
