pubmed:abstractText |
This study examined the relative contribution of hypertensive patients and their physicians in selecting total annual physician visit frequencies and made regional comparisons between two Canadian cities. We found that the frequency of physician visits was primarily influenced by physician referrals and physician practice patterns, which accounted for about 80 percent of the total explainable variance in physician visits. The relative contribution of other available patient and physician characteristics in determining visit frequency was rather small.
