Mixed effects model also adjusted for gender (estimated CFR ratio comparing women to men was 0.8 (95% CI [0.7, 0.8]) and chronological time (using a restricted cubic spline with 5 knots), and included random effects for state (estimated variance 0.31 (95% CI [0.19, 0.51]) and month within state (estimated variance 0.26 (95% CI [0.19, 0.37]).
