  1. 4Dependent variable: ‘SwitchOut’. Only patients living in cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants were included. The seven left columns are from sample 1, the far right column is from sample 2. aFor ‘Others’, ‘Pat_BirthYear’ was replaced with a dummy variable equal to 0 for patients born in 1940 and equal to 1 for patients born in 1970. Each patient was observed up to five times. Sigma_u denotes the estimated standard deviation of the random patient-specific constant terms. Stata 13, the xtlogit procedure, was used in the estimations. Estimates with two-sided p-values < 1% are in boldface
