TABLE 2.
Predictors of high-priority status listing in mixed effect logistic regression
| Model 1 | Model 2 | Model 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Listed in post-policy era | 5.23 (4.26, 6.42) | 6.35 (5.08, 7.94) | |
| Listed in post-policy era by Pre-policy Status 1A transplant rate quartilea | |||
| <70% | 5.53 (3.89, 7.86) | ||
| 70%−75% | 6.35 (4.13, 9.78) | ||
| 75%−82% | 4.86 (3.27, 7.20) | ||
| >82% | 9.73b (6.67, 14.19) | ||
Note: Values are odds ratios (95% CI), variance (95% CI), or n. Candidate-level variable coefficients and full model results, including the variances and covariances of the random effects can be found in Tables S2–S4.
Model 1: Adjusted for policy period only.
Model 2: Adjusted for policy period and candidate variables.
Model 3: Adjusted for policy period, candidate variables, and OPO-level Status 1A transplant rate as quartiles, number of transplant centers in the OPO, and total number of heart transplants performed by the center in each policy periods.
The cut-offs correspond to the pre-policy Status 1A transplant quartiles (i.e., centers with Status 1A transplant rate lower than 70% are in the first quartile, centers with transplant rate >82% are in the highest quartile).
OR is significantly different from that of being listed in the post-policy era at a center with <70% of Status 1A candidates receiving a transplant in the pre-policy period, p < .01.
