Proportional annual change in predicted mean number of contacts with an out-of-hours PCS/1000 inhabitants, per year and neighbourhood SES stratum*; and unstandardised regression coefficients for difference-in-difference year (2016 vs 2013) and neighbourhood SES (very low vs very high)*

*Multilevel linear regression models controlled for neighbourhood demographic composition, main effects for year and neighbourhood SES, and between-PCS variance.

†Statistical significance: printed in bold if p≤0.05.

PCS, primary care service; SES, socioeconomic status.
