For instance, the variable gender has two categories: male and female.
Variable gender = 1 indicates that respondent was female.
Besides the latent variable, gender and age play a role.
The variable GENDER is a binary variable equal to one for "female" admissions.
Another patient level variable, gender, was also included in the model.
In line with the linear regression model, the control variable gender is not statistically significant correlated to dependent variable.
This subset was then populated by one variable (gender) giving the final EI subset of 24 variables.
For only one variable, gender, does the composition of the sample change from the pre- to the post-reform period.

We also evaluated potential confounding factors identified previously [5, 6, 8, 12 14]: in particular age (continuous variable), gender, education level, smoking status, physical activity, body mass index, chronic musculoskeletal complaints, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and anxiety and depression measured by total HADS score (continuous variable).
For each patient who received a GON injection, information on age (measured as a continuous variable), gender, headache diagnosis, date of first visit, time from first visit to injection, site of injection, past and current medication, effects of injection and eventual follow-up treatment was collected using a standardized pro forma.
