*A urologist was defined as a high adopter if they referred a median of≥9/10 MIBC patients to medical oncology for consultation. A medical oncologist was defined as a high adopter if they treated a median of≥7/10 referred MIBC patients with chemotherapy. A radiation oncologist was defined as a high adopter if they referred a median of≥2 of the last 3 patients that they had seen to medical oncology that that were not already referred by urology. OR = odds ratio. CI = confidence interval. n/a = no survey questions for the domain. Bolded values indicate statistically significant results (p < 0.05).
