  1. acrude odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI) estimated from logistic regression. Missing cases in the independent variables were allocated to the reference category (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%).
  2. bAdjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI) estimated from logistic regression (adjustment for the other sociodemographic and practice-related determinants of the model, method: enter).
