  • The table shows the estimated associations between having a named GP and the secondary outcomes. Model 1 (columns 1 and 4) shows the unadjusted difference in means. Model 2 (columns 2 and 5) applies entropy balancing weights. Model 3 (columns 3 and 6) applies entropy balancing weights (EBW) and includes practice fixed effects (PCC FE). Standard errors (in brackets) are clustered by PCC. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001.

  • ED = emergency department. OOH = out-of-hours clinic.
