Table 11 shows that per capita estimates range from a high of $6,844 for men aged 45 54 years to a low of $647 for women aged 70 years and older reflecting differences by demographic in propensity to be in the workforce, average earnings, and mortality risk.
Unlike Weckback's study, however, our investigation included a larger cohort of ankle fracture patients (7383 patients compared with 476 patients, respectively) and controlled for preoperative comorbidities and patient demographics by propensity score matching of patients.
Our results indicate that poor access to primary health care increases the likelihood of hospitalization for ACSCs, after controlling for most of the other factors that may affect hospital admission, such as socio-demographics and propensity to seek care.
Effect sizes were adjusted in multivariate models for socio-demographic characteristics using propensity score techniques and for medical/obstetric covariates.
Second, considerable differences in demographics existed and no propensity scoring was performed to reconcile this.
Characteristics of the tegaserod initiators and their matched comparators did not differ substantially for any of the characteristics that were part of the propensity score (demographics, pre-existing diagnoses or medical conditions, procedures, prior drug use, and baseline healthcare utilization).
Demographic data in 228 propensity-matched patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) subjected to two different blood glucose targets: 3.5 to 6.5 mmol/l versus 5 to 8 mmol/l.
After adjusting for propensity scores, demographics, dialysis modality, comorbid conditions, clinical indications, hematocrit, nutritional and functional status, the amputation group had 46% higher odds of cardiovascular death within 30 days (OR: 1.46, 95% CI: 1.25 1.71) and 18% higher odds of cardiovascular death within 1 year (OR: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.00 1.39).
Joel Kotkin, a Los Angeles-based writer who knows as much about the grassroots economy as anyone, points to the close relationship between growth, both demographic and economic, and a propensity to vote Republican.
Officers said the "poor performance" of the venue was leading management to promote "higher risk events, which attract a demographic of customer with a propensity for extreme violence".
