Figure 2:

Forest plot showing the coefficients of the 2 interaction analyses (age by ethnicity and immigration status by ethnicity) with respect to the outcome of death in the intensive care unit (ICU) compared with all other locations. Each row shows the relative risk (RR) of being in the ICU at the time of death for decedents within the described subgroup comparing Ontario decedents of either Chinese or South Asian ethnicity with Ontario decedents from the general population. Each coefficient is derived from a regression model with generalized estimating equations incorporating age, sex, geography, socioeconomic position, cause of death and immigration status. Note: CI = confidence interval. *Coefficients for the interaction between immigration status and ethnicity are RRs from a modified Poisson regression model, and coefficients for the interaction between age and ethnicity are odds ratios from a logistic regression model owing to convergence difficulties with a modified Poisson model. Relative risks greater than 1 correspond to an increased RR of being in intensive care at death among Ontarians of Chinese or South Asian ethnicity.
