Our results showed only very small correlations between patient satisfaction and the corresponding physician estimates of patient satisfaction.
For each pID ∈ pID dID), the corresponding physician's long-term key K pID and public key PKpID for signature verification are also stored in the HAS.
To study how the corresponding physician densities are related to each other, we exploit information from 121 Austrian districts over the time period 2002 2008.
Significant (P<0.05), but small, correlations were found between patient satisfaction ratings and the corresponding physician estimates of patient satisfaction (r=0.12 and 0.13).
Comparisons were also made between participants who had corresponding physician data and those who did not using ANOVA for continuous variables and chi-square tests for categorical variables.
Consequently, services of non-contract and contract physicians can be viewed as substitutes, suggesting a negative relationship between the corresponding physician densities (in the following, we refer to this as ' competition effect').
For one patient, a missing assessment was replaced by the corresponding physician's assessment, because these two ratings showed substantial agreement (weighted κ coefficient 0.69, n = 294; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.64-0.75), according to the definition of Landis and Koch [ 26].
The concordance between DNA methylation analysis on the self-sampled material and the corresponding physician-taken sample taken ∼6 weeks later from the same patient was high, which supports reliability of the methylation test in the self-sampled material.
Self-reported pigmentation score weakly increased (by 1%; P = 0.07) the AUC for the self-reported model already containing MC1R, nevi and non-melanoma skin cancer, whereas more objectively-measured pigmentation score did not increase the discrimination of the corresponding physician-measured model.
Out of intellectual curiosity, we constructed the decision-tree corresponding to physicians' decisions, and compared it to the original and the new guidelines.
