No.= total number of nursing home residents;

**

% = percent of nursing home residents that received screening mammography ;

***

CI = confidence interval;

6.2% = 6.2% with a 95% confidence interval of 6.0 – 6.5%;

1.4% = 1.4% with a 95% confidence interval of 1.4 – 1.5%

Notes: Prevalence Ratio (PR) = crude prevalence ratio via Poisson regression with each characteristic individually; Adjusted PR (APR) = adjusted prevalence ratio via multivariable Poisson regression with clustering by facility adjusted for characteristics listed in this table + length of stay; APR reference categories for comorbidity and end-of-life care/status variables are those without that condition or service

Comorbidities defined: cancer = any active cancer diagnosis; dementia = dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease; neurological = paralysis, traumatic brain injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Huntington’s Disease; cardiovascular = Coronary Artery Disease, Peripheral Vascular Disease; musculoskeletal = osteoporosis, arthritis, recent fracture; respiratory = asthma, Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease, pneumonia
