By adjusting for utilization of primary care, we have attempted to disentangle some of the effects of overall access.
In addition, we adjusted for healthcare utilization to account for any potential selection bias in the relationship between antidepressant use and diabetes.
Compared with no implementation, both low and high implementation of OEND were associated with lower rates of opioid related deaths from overdose, when adjusted for demographics, utilization of addiction treatment, and doctor shopping (schedule II opioid prescriptions from ≥4 prescribers and filled prescriptions at ≥4 pharmacies in a 12 month period).
These incremental effects were adjusted for underlying service utilization trends in the country based on data from the Uganda Demographic and Health Survey [ 30] that estimated a 3% annual increase in institutional deliveries from the year 2005 to 2010.
After adjusting for demographic, utilization, and comorbid factors, as well as underlying cause of immunosuppression, NIV was only associated with lower mortality after 90 days.
We are unable to adjust for homecare utilization (data did not exist for the study years), family member caregiving status (no data available) or account for additional insurance coverage (above provincial) which may have covered additional costs associated with drugs, home nursing, home equipment, etc.
Basal fat utilization (adjusted for fat free mass) has been reported to be lower in females than in males, thereby contributing to a higher fat storage in women.
Multivariable Poisson regression, adjusted for baseline health care utilization factors, was used to estimate RR for outpatient visits to any physician, primary care physicians, and any specialists, as well as the number of prescription drugs, during the follow-up period in all three PS-matched pairs.
To evaluate the association between CAM use and vaccination status, multivariable analyses were conducted which adjusted for the demographic and healthcare utilization characteristics listed in Table 2. Separate models were created for priority and non-priority adults for each of the three vaccines of interest (adjusted coverage levels).
The rates from both studies likely underestimate RSV (and other SARI) incidence because we only adjusted for that portion of patients who went to a clinic other than the study clinic; we did not adjust for under-utilization of any clinical services, which is a factor to consider in both the urban and rural sites [ 17, 18].
Analyses were repeated using propensity score methods adjusted for clinical and health care utilization variables.
