The table shows the estimated association (regression coefficients) between having a named GP and continuity of care for three model specifications. 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 and includes practice fixed effects (PCC FE). Continuity is measured by the usual provider of care (UPC) index for patients with at least three GP visits during follow-up. Standard errors (in brackets) are clustered by PCC.
