Table 5 in the original missed “minus” signs in line 1 (age), line 2-6 (income).

Table 5.

Multiple regression model out-of-pocket costs by age category (under 65 vs. 65 and over), income, and burden category (High vs. Low)

Dependent variable: Out-of-pocket costs (OOPC)
Variable Coefficient (SE) Beta 95% Confidence Interval P value
Age >65 years -$139.86 (108.93) 1.28 -$30.93, -$248.79 P>0.1 NS
Income
<$20,000 -$517.35 (215.69) 2.40 -$301.66, -$733.04 P<0.05
$20,000-$39,999 -$380.48 (166.58) 2.28 -$213.90, -$547.07 P<0.05
$40,000-$59,999 -$133.25 (162.84) 0.82 -$296.08, $29.57 P>0.1 NS
$60,000-$79,999 -$264.73 (164.73) 1.61 -$429.45, -$100.00 P>0.1 NS
$80,000-$99,999 $6.54 (165.21) 0.04 -$158.68, $171.75 P>0.1 NS
High Burden $766.56 (117.40) 6.53 $649.16, $883.96 P<0.01
Constant $510.53 (113.37) 4.50 $397.16, $623.90 P<0.01

Observations 827

R2 0.064

Adjusted R2 0.056

Residual Std. Error 1,490.401 (df = 819)

F Statistic 7.978 (df = 7; 819) p<0.01

“$100,000+” is income reference, “small burden” is burden reference, “Under 65” is age reference. Hypotheses: Lower OOPC patient 65 years and over; higher income patients higher OOPC; higher burden patients higher OOPC.

NOTES: Standardized beta = coefficient/SE; 74 pts income was “don’t know” (n=73) or “missing” (n=1)
