OR of an admission and a cardiovascular admission in the intervention and control groups during follow-up, using the logistic component of a Hurdle model
| Follow-up (months) | OR for hospital admissions (intervention vs control)* | 95% CI | p Value | OR for CV hospital admissions (intervention vs control)* | 95% CI | p Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12† | 0.65 | 0.46 to 0.92 | 0.01 | 0.62 | 0.39 to 0.98 | 0.04 |
| 24† | 0.64 | 0.39 to 1.04 | 0.07 | 0.89 | 0.43 to 1.83 | 0.76 |
| 36 | 0.74 | 0.49 to 1.12 | 0.16 | 0.89 | 0.51 to 1.56 | 0.69 |
| 48 | 0.87 | 0.58 to 1.31 | 0.51 | 0.74 | 0.43 to 1.29 | 0.29 |
| 60 | 1.19 | 0.79 to 1.80 | 0.40 | 1.39 | 0.81 to 2.40 | 0.23 |
| 72 | 0.83 | 0.54 to 1.28 | 0.40 | 0.91 | 0.49 to 1.65 | 0.75 |
*OR adjusted for GP cluster, baseline inpatient admissions, practice size, practice location, age, gender, years since diagnosis and conditions at baseline: angina, MI, CABG, PTCA and diabetes.
†Data were originally collected at the end of the 18-month intervention and the first follow-up period was 6 months, so these are based on annualised equivalents of the admission counts.
