Table 4 Factors associated with level of unmet needs using binary multiple logistic regression models for total level of unmet needs (NPCS total score), level of unmet needs for health and personal care services (NPCS health and personal care score) and for level of unmet needs for social care and support services (NPCS social care and support score)

From: Unmet needs for healthcare and social support services in patients with Huntington’s disease: a cross-sectional population-based study

 

NPCS unmet needs: total (N = 79)

NPCS unmet needs: domain health and personal care (N = 71)

NPCS unmet needs: domain social care and support (N = 68)
