Different combinations of variables were included in the regression models to identify factors that influenced the scripts to patients’ relationship over the six years from 2007 to 2012. These regressions were carried out separately for the EverCtG and NeverCtG groups. Factors that were considered for inclusion within the models: age; sex; remoteness;
