Continued from part 12 after stopping for a much-needed mini-break, some really real UK sunshine and a fair few beers…

Other Cardiac Conditions

Back in part 12 my model churned out an odds ratio of 1.26 (p=0.036) for other cardiac conditions, this being suggestive of a slight tendency toward these cases during the peculiar death ratio indicator period that was the three weeks immediately after vaccine rollout (2021/w2 - w4 covering the period 9 January – 29 January). I shall quickly remind readers that other cardiac conditions is dominated by chronic ischaemic/atherosclerotic heart disease. The bivariate crosstabulation above vaguely shows this result, with the percentage of deaths rising from 6.4% to 6.9% (factor increase of 1.08), but the effect is nowhere near as beefy: that’s multivariate messing about for you!
