Cluster columns show the three most common stability patterns stratified by presence or nonpresence of stability for each domain. For each stability domain (H/CJ/E/I/RT/MP), 1 refers to “yes” and 0 refers to “no”, e.g., 111111 refers to stability in all domains and 000000 refers to instability in all domains.
All measures based on past six-month duration. All differences in means are significant at p < 0.05
