  1. “†” p < .10, * p < .05, ** p < .01, *** p < .001. Certain variables were included in the multivariate regression regardless of their statistical significance in bivariate analysis. These variables are age, gender, marital status, a first-time visitor or not, inpatient or outpatient. Other covariates were “not included” if they were not statistically significant at 90% confidence level (p > = .10, as indicated in the table). The odds ratios (O.R.s) here are adjusted odds ratios (AORs), meaning that they are controlled for other predictors in the model
