While level differences of outcomes between the treatment and control groups as well as common trends of outcomes for both treated and control companies are easily handled by the DiD estimator, differential trends among the two groups will generally lead to inconclusive or erroneous inferences.
It accounted for stepwise changes and log linear trends in outcomes associated with the HH intervention, as well as the monthly proportion of patients screened and monthly cumulative screening rate on wards to account for changes in trends of outcomes associated with screening.
Those experienced patients with either missing CD4 or WHO staging data in each study arm did not have significantly different outcome data (change in level or change in trend, of the outcome "Appointment keeping to within 3 days") compared to the rest of the experienced patients.
The two parameters of interest are β2, which indicates any immediate change in the level of the outcome and β3, which indicates any change in the trend of the outcome following initiation of the policy.
However, a trend of worse outcome scores for non-responders was noted.
However, a trend of worse outcome for non-responders was found.

Concerning BRCA1, the positive patients showed a trend of better outcome than the negative ones.
