  1. aMissing cases were allocated to the reference category of logistic regression (age: n = 9 (2.8%), gender: n = 0, GP has a migrant background: n = 4 (1.2%), estimated percentage of patients with a migrant background: n = 10 (3.1%)). Missings in the dependent variables were excluded (n = 11; 3.2%).
