Definition of covariates Sample Clauses

Definition of covariates. We included “health insurance status” as a mediator to the models. In mediation analysis, we considered those who had Medicare, Medicaid, private and other insurance as “insured” and those who self-paid as “uninsured”. Other covariates included age, sex, median household income quartile, and urban/rural location. The median household income quartile and urban/rural location were defined and reported by HCUP based on the patient’s ZIP code. We also examined the ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes for obesity, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia among patients with acute coronary syndromes. However, the prevalence of these comorbidities in the study population was much lower than expected. Therefore, we did not include these factors in the models to avoid introducing bias to our estimates.
