Table 3.

Proportions of Diagnostic Errors (DE) or Missed Opportunity for Diagnosis (MOD)

Diagnostic Error or Missed Opportunity for Diagnosis	Number	DE or MOD proportion per 100 eligible patients
Elevated Blood Pressure
Primary DE Outcome: N=389 No appropriate action for elevated systolic or diastolic blood pressure	212	54%
Secondary Outcomes:  No documentation that blood pressure was elevated, or appropriate action taken	198	51%
No documentation of blood pressure percentiles	230	59%
Abnormal Laboratory Values
Primary DE Outcome: N=381 No appropriate action for abnormal laboratory value without delay	41	11%
Secondary Outcome:  No documentation that laboratory value was abnormal, provided a diagnosis, or appropriate action taken	33	9%
Adolescent Depression
Primary MOD Outcome: N=400  No documentation that provider pursued an evaluation for adolescent depression	249	62%

No proportions were associated with patient age, gender, or insurance status in mixed-effects analyses (laboratory models also controlled for laboratory test type) at a two-tailed alpha level of 0.05 except not pursuing an evaluation for adolescent depression was associated with younger dichotomized age.
