  1. #p < 0.10; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p = 0.000 (significant coefficients/Exp(B) shown in bold ); (log) = logistic regression analyses; WICM = Walcheren Integrated Care Model.
  2. Note: Positive Beta values signify better scores for all outcomes with a 0–10 or 0–100 range, except for the outcome Self-Rated Burden (SRB); for SRB, positive Beta values signify increased experienced burden.
