Treatment association across confounding-control analyses.
| Analysis | Estimate | 95% CI lower | 95% CI upper | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unadjusted | 2.74 | 1.35 | 5.57 | 0.005 |
| Parsimonious covariate-adjusted | 3.72 | 1.66 | 8.77 | 0.002 |
| Broad covariate-adjusted sensitivity | 4.50 | 1.98 | 10.92 | <0.001 |
| Propensity score matched | 3.86 | 1.47 | 10.10 | 0.006 |
| Propensity overlap-weighted | 3.43 | 1.54 | 7.65 | 0.003 |
| Combined-block-adjusted sensitivity | 3.83 | 1.67 | 9.31 | 0.002 |
| Co-intervention-adjusted sensitivity | 3.80 | 1.38 | 11.51 | 0.013 |
Estimates are odds ratios with 95% CIs. The combined-block model adds superficial cervical plexus block and T2 paravertebral field supplementation to the parsimonious adjustment set. The co-intervention model is secondary because several included variables occur after treatment.
