Note: The Step 1 model includes SC9, SC13, SC14, SC17, SC19, SC23, SC27, SC28, SC30, SC31, and K52 with Physician Type as a covariate. The step 2 model is identical except that SC23 is eliminated. Step 3 eliminates both SC23 and SC27. Predictor variables are modeled as binary indicator variables indicating whether or not a particular code was ever applied to text from a specific simulation. Coefficients are presented for only those variables achieving statsistical significance; model coefficients for all variables are available on request to the senior author.
