Fit Indices Used to Determine the Final Trajectory Model*

Model AIC BICa BLRT P Value Latent Class Probability Range Entropy Sample Size per Trajectory Based on Most Likely Membership
1 trajectory 3,622.94 3,626.08 1.0 220
2 trajectories 3,687.19 3,690.56 <0.001 0.92-0.98 0.902 189/31
3 trajectories 3,628.61 3,632.65 <0.001 0.84-0.90 0.700 75/28/117
4 trajectories 3,594.92 3,599.64 <0.001 0.84-0.99 0.769 71/28/116/5
3 trajectories with baseline pain covariate 3,293.51 3,296.59 <0.001 0.87-0.93 0.740 78/26/98
*

AIC = Akaike information criterion, BICa = adjusted Bayesian information criterion, and BLRT = bootstrapped Lo-Mendell-Rubin test.

Model with the best fit to the data that respected all criteria (lower AIC and BICa values, smallest trajectory with n >5%, adequate classification accuracy).

Addition of baseline pain as a covariate resulted in an adjusted sample size of n = 202.
