Table 4.
Adjusted difference-in-difference logistic regression assessing the association of the COVID-19 pandemic and ischemic heart disease death on the odds of dying at home.
| Variable | Adjusted OR (95% CI) | p-Value |
|---|---|---|
| Age | ||
| 0–34 years (ref = 35–64 years) | 0.63 (0.55, 0.72) | <0.001 |
| 65+ years (ref = 35–64 years) | 0.72 (0.67, 0.77) | <0.001 |
| Male (ref = female) | 0.98 (0.92, 1.05) | 0.58 |
| Race | ||
| Black (ref = white) | 0.75 (0.69, 0.83) | <0.001 |
| Other race (ref = white) | 0.91 (0.71, 1.18) | 0.48 |
| Hispanic (ref = non-Hispanic) | 0.72 (0.54, 0.97) | 0.03 |
| COVID (ref = before COVID) | 0.93 (0.80, 1.08) | 0.34 |
| Ischemic heart disease (ref = non-natural deathsa) | 0.80 (0.73, 0.88) | <0.001 |
| Difference-in-difference interactionb | 1.48 (1.24, 1.76) | <0.001 |
Non-natural causes of death included deaths due to unintentional injuries, suicides, and homicides.
Interaction term (deaths from ischemic heart disease ∗ during pandemic period).
