  • An abstractor variable indicating who completed the survey form (physicians and clinic personnel or Census field representative) was added to the multivariable analysis and did not affect the outcome measure in the adjusted analysis. Additional covariates in the model include region, metropolitan statistical area, and median household income for patient ZIP code. Model fit was assessed by the C statistic (C-statistic = 0.783).

  • * Cardiovascular risk factors include diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, or tobacco use.

  • CI, confidence interval; MD, medical doctor; PCP, primary care physician.
