Long-term employment outcomes for survivors of burn injury: comparing patients at IRFs vs Other Rehab settings using the propensity score matched group

Propensity Score Caliper*	No.	Odds Ratio†	95%Confidence Interval	P Value	C-Statistic	95%Confidence Interval
0.01	266	9.707	1.04-90.40	.046	0.78	0.64-0.91
0.1	382	13.66	1.5-149.83	.033	0.78	0.70-0.86

^*Calipers indicate the difference in propensity scores of matched individuals from each of the 2 groups (IRF and Other Rehab). The smallest caliper,0.01, is the most narrowly defined and included only the most similar matches. The largest caliper, 0.1, is the least narrowly defined and included the least similar matches.

^†Adjusted for the propensity scores, BMS site, and acute care length of stay. The following variables were used to create propensity scores: age, sex, race, ethnicity, burn size, burn etiology, location of burn injury, primary insurance, number of days in the intensive care unit, presence of inhalation injury, amputation, preinjury marital status, preinjury employment status, history of psychological treatment or counseling, preinjury alcohol abuse, and preinjury drug abuse.
