Table 3.

T1-T2 risk state by T3 risk state. Note that outcome is 0 if T3 state is low or lower than the state at T2, otherwise it is 1. The test for trend controlling for T1 risk state is: a>b>c; d>e>f; g>h>i (Pr>z<0.001). The test for trend controlling for T2 risk state is: a>d>g; b>e>h(Pr>z<0.001)c>f>i (Pr = 0.143) The superscripted numbers in parenthesis represent the order of trend which appeared to be significantly associated with the likelihood to be at "0" at T3.
