hdPS – High dimensional propensity score; SD – Standard deviation.

a

Please note, one Data Partner removed a small number of users that moved to administrative services only plans. Information from these users is included in Tables 1 and 2, but removed from subsequent tables.

b

Please note, all models were stratified by Data Partner.

c

The conditional models were stratified by the matched pair.

d

The unconditional models were not stratified by the matched pair.
