Sensitivity Analysis
| Effect of first CV event between T-2 and T (relative risk ratios) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| N | Moved in | Moved closer | |
| I. Exclude subjects moved to nursing home between T-2 and T | 11,097 | 1.66* | 1.22 |
| II. Propensity score matching method | 1,158 | 2.02* | 1.49 |
| III. Multiple imputations for missing values in covariates | 11,696 | 1.57* | 1.53* |
| IV. Including another outcome of death or missing | 11,471 | 1.62* | 1.58* |
Notes. Unit of observation is respondent-year. 2004 population weight was applied for all analyses. Significance levels are *p < .05. Robust standard errors were obtained and used to asses significant levels. Base outcome is the category of “no change in proximity or further proximity.” CV = cardiovascular.
