Variable of Interest | Methods Used to Perform Sensitivity Analyses | Results |
---|---|---|
ADLs | Each individual ADL score was compared to the summary score. Two different grouped levels of summary score were tested. | No significant improve in the model |
Psychiatric diagnosis | Types of psychiatric diagnoses (eg, anxiety, psychosis) were compared to the number of diagnoses recorded (one, two, three or more vs none). | No significant improve in the model |
Age | Categorical groupings in Table 1 were compared with continuous variable versus categorical groupings with the last category of ≥60 years. | No significant improve in the model |
24-Hour residential setting | Entire analysis was re-run using only clients from 24-hour residential settings because their representation in the database was relatively complete. | All variables remained in the model except guardian and summary ADL score. Effect sizes were similar but slightly higher for all remaining variables in the model. C statistic = 0.723 |
Recent influenza vaccination | Characteristics of influenza vaccine were negative; women who did not receive a mammogram were analyzed and compared with women who did receive a mammogram and had influenza. | Less able to communicate (64% vs 79%) More likely to have a guardian (58% vs 46%) Less likely to have one or psychiatric diagnosis (54% vs 62%) More likely to have high ADL need (31% vs 19%) More likely to require sedation (22% vs 15%) |
