Secondary Care Encounters for OAT vs. SMT as Initial Approach to Long-term Care of cLBP
| Propensity Scoring Method | Rate Ratio | CI | SE | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Binning | 2.43 | 2.40 – 2.46 | 0.01 | <.0001 |
| Weighting | 2.67 | 2.64 – 2.69 | 0.00 | <.0001 |
Estimate = exponentiated log of rate ratio for Cohort OATC vs. SMTC
SMTC: Initiation of care of cLBP with SMT in 2013 (combination of SMT and SMTX)
OATC: Initiation of care of cLBP with OAT in 2013 combination of OAT and OATX)
CI = confidence interval; SE = standard error; P = probability
