TABLE 2.
C-statistics from Models Predicting High Statin Adherence (PDC ≥ 80%) Including Different Sets of Patient Baseline Information in the Testing Cohort
| Variables Included in Each Model | C-statistics (95% CI) |
|---|---|
| Demographics (age, sex) | 0.578(0.573-0.584) |
| Health services use (number of physician visits, colonoscopy, mammography, vaccinations, and hospitalized days) | 0.549(0.543-0.554) |
| Comorbidities (PVD, liver disease, renal disease, recent MI, previous stroke, ischemic heart disease, HTN, DM, depression, cancer) | 0.540(0.535-0.545) |
| Baseline medication use | 0.545(0.539-0.551) |
| Index statin information (high-/low-intensity dose, dispensed days supply) | 0.543(0.538-0.547) |
| Medication burden (number of any drug dispensations, of unique drugs, and of concurrent medication dispensed) | 0.614(0.609-0.619) |
| Plan benefit type and financial burden (total copayment during baseline, copay of the index statin) | 0.575(0.570-0.581) |
| All components combined | 0.665(0.659-0.670) |
c-statistics = concordance statistics; CI = confidence interval; DM = diabetes mellitus; HTN = hypertension; MI = myocardial infarction; PDC = proportion of days covered; PVD = peripheral vascular diseases.
