Table 3 Bivariate and multivariable logistic models predicting temporal regularity (TR) as a binary outcome. The model predicts which patients are more likely to be in the quintile with the least temporally regular pattern of primary care (TR ≥ 1.2). Values greater than 1 mean that a patient is more likely to be in the group with a less regular pattern of care. The multivariable model is adjusted for all the variables in the table
