Table 2.
Multiple regression summary table for 3-year outcomes, without or with earlier PLS-4 score as a predictor. Estimates of the impact of significant predictors (marked by asterisks), together with 95% confidence interval (CInt) are shown for the change in the mean of the dependent variable associated with a change in the predictor from the first to the second value specified in the Predictor column, with the other predictors held constant.
