a

One woman without a clear care gap and 6 women with missing results for Pap test (thus it was not possible to correctly assign their care gap) were excluded, leaving 498 women in this analysis.

b

Model adjusted for all variables shown in this table. We did not include insurance type in this analysis due to inability to obtain stable estimates for insurance type. Additionally, adjusting for insurance type did not lead to material changes of the results presented in this table.
