CHC—community health centre, CI—confidence interval, FFS—fee-for-service, FHN—family health network, HSO—health service organization.
↵* Individuals younger than 60 years of age make up the reference category.
↵† The age effect (95% CI) adjusted for sex, rurality, and public insurance is shown.
↵‡ Statistically significant (P < .05) results.
↵§ The estimated performance for different age groups in each model is shown for the “typical” patient profile, which is an individual with the most common features: an urban woman with public health insurance.
