Wald test P-value from the random effects logistic regression model.
ORs adjusted for: age, wealth quintiles and education.
Likelihood ratio test assessing whether the model adjusting for women’s groups fits the data better when compared to the null model.
Likelihood ratio test assessing whether the model also adjusting for women’s groups fits the data better compared to the model with age, formal education and wealth quintiles.
The ORs reported for this outcome are from a logistic regression model using a single time-point of measurement at 6 months post hospital discharge.
