Note: Estimate is the parameter estimate for the within-pair effect and 95% the 95% confidence interval around it, obtained by means of the cluster-robust sandwich estimator of standard errors in svyglm, adjusted for any effects of age cohort, sex and zygosity. Estimates in the right-hand portion of the table are propensity score-adjusted estimates of the within-pair effect. Propensity score indicators were all from the age-11 assessment (see Table S2). Missing values were imputed 50 times, a propensity score estimated for each imputation set, and cotwin-control analyses were conducted on each set using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). Results of the 50 sets of IPTW-weighted analyses were combined as using the procedure outlined by Rubin [39]. df are corrected as recommended by Barnard and Rubin [2].
