Linear regression models regressed each outcome measure on patient engagement or family engagement, adjusted for baseline measure of the outcome (i.e., first measure after surgery). Separate regression models were performed for each pair of patient engagement or family engagement with one of the outcome measures. The coefficients of patient engagement, family engagement, and baseline measure indicate the amout of additional reduction or improvement in the outcome measure associated with a one-point increase in these independent variable. The coefficient of the constant is the level of the reduction when the value of the baseline measure and patient or family enagement were zero.
Statistically significant, p<0.05.
