  1. PC Primary Care; Ind. Individuals
  2. All means are standardised by age and sex. Models adjusted by age, sex, and morbidity burden
  3. In those cases where the Vuong test was statistically non-significant showing large negative values, standard negative binomial models were employed, *p < 0.05, p < 0.001
