Clustered outcome data |
|
—1 to 6 outcomes per woman based on menstrual cycles contributed to follow-up |
Accounted for within-woman correlated outcomes with generalized estimating equations extension of the log-binomial regression model |
—Number of menstrual cycles contributed was associated with outcome |
Each woman’s data were weighted to equalize the amount of data contributed to analysis |
Missing outcome data |
|
—Multiple imputation procedure produced 20 imputed datasets with plausible values for missing outcomes |
Final results were summarized from the results from 20 imputed data sets |
|
Sensitivity to missing data was assessed with a secondary analysis restricted to cycles with observed outcome |
