ParameterAge-Sex CoefficientaPValueAge-Sex-Visit CoefficientaPValue
PC=primary care.
a A positive coefficient indicates an increased likelihood of a depression diagnosis after the index date; a negative coefficient indicates a decreased likelihood.
b Age was centered around the mean of 61 years.
c Number of primary care visits was centered around the median of 6.
