Emergency Department Admissions: Analysis of ECDS Dataset (part 5)
SMLR modelling of an ECDS extract of 237k admission records to the emergency departments of an undisclosed NHS Trust: the healthy vaccinee effect confirmed using risk of hospitalisation
In part 4 of this series I confirmed the healthy vaccinee effect for adult admissions to the ED of an unknown NHS Trust for the period 2021/w1 – 2021/w38 in terms of risk of treatment within the department. We saw a higher risk of treatment within the department for those coming in unvaccinated compared to those arriving already vaccinated, with the risk for those who got jabbed after admission falling between the two. The effect is not apparent for all age groups and chiefly makes itself known in the 70 – 79 and 80 – 89 year decadal age bands. The effect is subtle, exhibiting a 3.5% increase in risk of treatment at best (70 – 79 year group). Today I’m going to repeat the analysis for risk of hospitalisation, so strap yourselves in…
A Risk Score For Hospitalisation
We start with a near identical list of variables but this time round we have to include Treatment Status [0=Not treated; 1=Treated] as an independent, bring the total to 21 independent variables. The dependent variable of int…
