D9.3 Exploratory Analyses: . S1. Different Outcomes:. Whether the intervention reduces the risk of poor outcomes as measured by Medicare's "Outcome-Based Quality Indicators" (OBQI) and targeted adverse events, including: decline in activities of daily living, discharge to hospital, and/or falls. This analysis will be tested using the merged administrative data set. Mixed-effects analyses will be conducted on the following OBQI outcomes and adverse events. Mixed-effects linear regression will be used for the continuous measures (e.g., ADL decline) whereas mixed-effects logistic regression analyses will be used on binary outcomes (e.g., fall). The choice of covariates and the structure of the data will conform to that described for H1. We anticipate that some of these exploratory analyses will be sufficiently power for statistical tests (e.g., decline in ADL), yet others (e.g., adverse fall events) will be examined for the direction and magnitude of effects rather than statistical significance.
