Bivariate and Multivariate Regressions Predicting E-Prescribing Volume and Quitting Among E-Prescribers (n = 139)

Outcome Measure
Monthly E-Prescribing Volume Quit Using E-Prescribing
Predictors Bivariate Coefficient (CI) Multivariate Coefficient (CI) Bivariate OR (CI) Multivariate OR (CI)
Performance scale§ (min = 1; max = 5) 49.37∗∗∗ (27.30–71.45) 46.52 (12.06–+80.97) 0.295∗∗∗ (0.17–0.52) 0.59 (0.26–1.33)
Usability scale§ (min = 1; max = 5) 41.27∗∗ (17.72–64.83) 7.84 (−26.80–+42.49) 0.31∗∗∗ (0.18–0.53) 0.42 (0.19–0.90)
Computer attitudes score (min = 1; max = 5) 6.18 (−27.54–+39.90) −15.53 (−49.19–+18.13) 0.45 (0.25–0.84) 0.65 (0.31–1.35)
Age (min = 27; max = 82) 1.32 (−1.08–+3.74) 0.81 (−1.50–+3.12) 0.96 (0.92–1.01) 0.94 (0.88–1.00)
  • OR = Odds Ratio; CI = 95% confidence interval. Associations that remained statistically significant in multivariate analyses are shown in bold text.

  • p < 0.05.

  • ∗∗ p < 0.01.

  • ∗∗∗ p < 0.001.

  • § Scores on the Performance scale and the Usability scale were correlated (r2 = 0.57) but the results were not consistent with multicollinearity.
