↵a For clarity, we report only the results for the 10 most prevalent chronic conditions (according to patient self-reports). The results for all chronic conditions are in Supplemental Table 4 (http://www.AnnFamMed.org/content/17/5/396/suppl/DC1).
↵b Symbols indicate whether the GP or patient reported (+) or did not report (–) the condition.
