Predicted values control for: pre-eligibility earnings quartile, release type, diary type, profile score level, age at CDR, time on program, primary impairment, race, sex, program title, adjudicative level of original program entry, whether there were prior CDRs, whether a consultative exam (CE) was requested during the FMR, state of residence, and year of initial CDR.
Covariates include pre-eligibility earnings quartile, release type, diary type, profile score level, age at CDR, time on program, primary impairment, race, sex, whether concurrently receiving SSI and DI, adjudicative level of original program entry, whether there were prior CDRs, whether a consultative examination was requested during the FMR, state of residence, and year of initial CDR.
Selection of diary type was based on time of enrollment, rather than by randomization, which represents a limitation in the method.
The group concluded that an interactive / diary type book which met all the criteria used within this review would be most useful.
The model was used to identify key participant (age, sex, household size, presence of child <18 years in the household) and methodological (diary type, day of the week, survey day, first method used) predictors of observed social encounters.
For the primary efficacy variable, the natural logarithm of seizure frequency was compared between groups using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), which models seizure frequency as a function of baseline seizure frequency and treatment (with diary type as an additional covariate).
These narratives are difficult to tease out from the manuscripts — the stories are barely there at all; in fact, Zuckerman's manuscript pages seem to be merely his diary typed up, with some brief yet strenuous attempts at shaping his experiences into art.
As would be expected, the ceased group has a higher proportion of MIE diary types, who SSA deemed more likely to medically improve at the time of their last favorable decision.
Table 2 shows the variables used for each of the diary types.
Variables used as initial variables in the weighted GEE analysis for each of the diary types (X indicates the inclusion of the variable).
Very up for in-depth campaign-diary type thing.
