Distribution of gastroschisis cases and controls by neighborhood indices, NDI and nSEPI, n(%)
Gastroschisis Cases n = 1,269 | Controls n = 10,217 | |
---|---|---|
Neighborhood Deprivation Index (NDI) | ||
T1 (Low deprivation) | 246 (19) | 3406 (33) |
T2 | 454 (36) | 3406 (33) |
T3 (High deprivation) | 569 (45) | 3405 (33) |
Neighborhood Socioeconomic Position Index (nSEPI) | ||
T1 (High nSEP) | 240 (19) | 3406 (33) |
T2 | 449 (35) | 3406 (33) |
T3 (Low nSEP) | 580 (46) | 3405 (33) |
Neighborhood indices were created within each imputed dataset via principal component analysis. Counts and frequencies were averaged over the 10 imputed datasets.
NDI: Neighborhood Deprivation Index; nSEPI: Neighborhood Socioeconomic Position Index: nSEP: Neighborhood Socioeconomic Position
High tertile scores reflect high deprivation (NDI) or lower nSEP (nSEPI). Low tertile scores reflect low deprivation (NDI) or high nSEP (nSEPI).
