Table 2. Relationships of Patient Sex and Rater With ADLs, IADLs, and CES-D.
Outcome | Rater | Mean outcome by patient sex and rater | Sex difference (male minus female)a | p value | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Male patients | Female patients | Mean | 95% CIb | |||
ADLsc | Proxy | 3.22 | 2.83 | 0.40 | [−0.46, 1.25] | .37 |
Patient | 3.26 | 2.56 | 0.70 | [−0.07, 1.47] | .08 | |
IADLsd | Proxy | 3.25 | 3.37 | −0.12 | [−0.79, 0.56] | .73 |
Patient | 2.75 | 2.88 | −0.13 | [−0.74, 0.48] | .68 | |
CES-De | Proxy | 8.23 | 11.83 | −3.60 | [−6.89, 0.31] | .02 |
Patient | 11.46 | 12.72 | −1.26 | [−4.12, 1.61] | .38 |
Mean among male patients minus mean among female patients.
CI = confidence interval.
ADLs = activities of daily living (range: 0-10).
IADLs = instrumental activities of daily living (range: 0-7).
CES-D = Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale (range: 0-60).
