Table 3. Within-Sibling Comparison of School Outcomes of 539 829 Children Exposed to Parental Death Before Graduating From Compulsory School Compared With Their Siblings Exposed to the Death After Graduationa.

Variable No. School outcomes in the final year of compulsory school at age 15-16 y
Ineligibility for upper secondary education Mean grade z score, adjusted β coefficient (95% CI)
No. (%) Adjusted risk ratio
Parental death before finishing school 10 934 1587 (14.5) 1.07 (0.93 to 1.24) −0.06 (−0.10 to −0.01)b
No parental death 528 895 43 161 (8.2) 1 [Reference] 0 [Reference]

Fixed-effect Poisson regression was used for eligibility, and fixed-effect linear regression was used for mean grade z score. Cluster robust estimation for standard error was used to account for associations between siblings. Adjusted estimates were obtained from models described in the Methods section.

b

Statistical significance at the P < .05 level.
