A lack of common support, or a complete separation of propensity scores between the exposure groups indicates severe differences between the two exposure groups and the possibility that confounding cannot be reduced using propensity methods [ 22].
The complete results from propensity sampling, reported as average p-values across 100 trials, are included as Additional file 1. P-values were less significant after propensity sampling because of iterations in which outliers were excluded.
The consistency of most findings from both full cohort with complete case and propensity score-matched cohort analytical approaches strongly suggested that use of metformin is comparatively beneficial to diabetic patients in terms of their clinical parameters and clinical outcomes.
The link between the belief that completing an incident report protects against legal liability and the greater propensity to complete an incident report if the patient was injured is demonstrated in figure 1.
While satisfaction with teaching makes no significant difference across all three tertiles to completion outcomes at all, the two upper tertiles of satisfaction with assessment imply a mildly increased propensity to complete by about one percentage point.
Notable findings from this model of intention to complete include a higher propensity of females to complete compared to males, those with a prior year 12 education over all other prior education levels, and those studying for employment and further study reasons over personal reasons.
To study the degree of association between the abundance of cytosolic proteins and their overall aggregation propensity, the complete 875 cytosolic protein set was divided in 45 groups according to their abundance.
Model fitted on 3,093 complete observations (3) = Propensity to refer to a certified parlour to undergo body art.
After more complete adjustment with a propensity score for recent chemotherapy, chemotherapy was no longer associated with outcome (P = 0.079).
Model fitted on 3,341 complete observations (4) = Propensity to seek medical advice in the event of complications related to body art.
