Final multilevel regression model of follow up appointment*, parameter estimates and t ratios†

Final model, parameter (t ratio)
*Terms are defined as in table 1 and in the Results section.
†If the t ratio exceeds ±1.96, the estimate is considered to be significantly different from zero at the 0.05 level.
