  1. (OR odds ratio, IRR incident rate ratio, Proc Process. Process 1 of ZINB modeled the likelihood of not being at the risk of using outpatient service, and process 2 modeled the total times of outpatient service use given that one is at that risk. The sample size is the same as described in Table 2. All estimates were adjusted.)
