For the coprimary endpoint of communication about age-related concerns, the mean number of discussions was 7.74 in the GA arm, compared with 4.24 in the control arm, a difference of 3.5 (P less than .0001).
Arm 1 was rated as having more discussions with higher-quality communications (mean 4.42 vs. 2.47, P less than .0001), and had more discussions leading to an intervention (3.08 vs. 1.15, P less than .0001).
Patients in arm 1 consistently rated their satisfaction with communication (the other coprimary endpoint) higher than did patients in arm 2, at both baseline, 4-6 weeks after the visit, and 3 months after the visit.
