Dependent variable* | Sex (male reference = 1.00) | No. of encounters with a primary care provider | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
RR (95% CI) | p value | RR (95% CI) | p value | |
No. of medications | 1.08 (0.95-1.22) | 0.2 | 1.11 (1.06-1.16) | < 0.001* |
Note: 95% CI = confidence intervals (lower bound-upper bound), p value = probability value, RR = rate ratio.*Sex served as the main independent variable and number of encounters with a primary care provider in a 2-year period served as a covariate using a log-2 scale in the regression model.
†Significance defined as p < 0.05.
