Controlling for baseline characteristics including hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol made no difference.
Obese people and those with hypertension eventually performed more poorly on tests of memory and mental skills, even after controlling for baseline cognitive performance, the researchers found.
With the crude analysis, the effect of the intervention was determined, while controlling for baseline value.
These relationships held while controlling for baseline extraversion, neuroticism, and memory word count.
Repeated measurements were analyzed using generalized estimating equations controlling for baseline characteristics and accounting for correlations.
However, brooding did not predict depression prospectively after controlling for baseline symptoms.
In general, controlling for baseline characteristics has minor effects on the estimates and makes the estimates only slightly more precise.
However, hierarchical linear modeling analyses showed that Machiavellianism, but not perceived popularity, predicted bullying after controlling for baseline scores.
These effects of emotion regulation remained intact even when controlling for baseline social functioning and Big Five personality traits.
In the specification with the most precise estimates (bandwidth of 10 controlling for baseline covariates), we can rule out effects larger than about 2 percentage points.
Differences in the BHIs between the RCVS and MOA groups were not significant in the posterior circulation, and the results were generally unchanged after controlling for baseline MFVs.
