Multivariable linear regression models predicting mean specialty-specific physician performance scores by mean consumer ratings score by platform

Consumer ratings platform	Specialty-specific performance score (β coefficient, 95% confidence interval)	PCP score (β coefficient, 95% confidence interval)	Administrator score (β coefficient, 95% confidence interval)
Yelp	−0.0001 (−0.06 – 0.06)	−0.01 (−0.4, 0.4)	−0.1 (−0.5, 0.2)
Healthgrades	−0.005 (−0.05 – 0.04)	0.007 (0.3, 0.4)	0.06 (−0.3, 0.4)
Vitals	−0.04 (−0.08 – 0.01)	0.02 (−0.3, 0.4)	−0.2 (−0.5, 0.2)
RateMDs	0.01 (−0.03 – 0.05)	0.2 (−0.3, 0.7)	0.1 (−0.3, 0.5)
UCompareHealthcare	0.04 (−0.004 – 0.08)	0.3 (−0.06, 0.8)	−0.009 (−0.5, 0.4)

Multivariable models adjusted for number of reviews, specialty, race, years since medical school graduation, gender, and practice setting.
