  1. significant results (p < 0.05) are bold.
  2. model a: patient group, gender and age.
  3. model b: model a + education.
  4. LR test: likelihood ratio test.
  5. 1 The proportional odds assumption was violated for the experience scores. A subsequent analysis that did not depend on the proportional odds assumption yielded virtually identical results regarding the transfer from 'usually' to 'always' and showed some deviations for the transfer from 'never / sometimes' to 'usually'.
  6. 2 The proportional odds assumption was violated for the importance scores. A subsequent analysis that did not depend on the proportional odds assumption yielded virtually identical results regarding the transfer from 'important' to 'of the utmost importance' and showed some deviations for the transfer from 'not (really) important' to 'important'.
