Abstract:
|
There has been huge development in research of hypertension and cardiovascular disease area during last ten years. Most research shows that they provided clinical and epidemiologic evidence between time-dependent blood pressure levels and various study subjects of interest. Even though there has been much research including various endpoint and analysis methods, many studies had used two statistical models including mixed effect models and Cox proportional hazard models with different risk factors as their covariates. This research compare mixed effect models and Cox proportional hazard models with important differences of statistical results due to association among risk factors, unbalanced intervals between visits, and different endpoints. We use MEDTRACE (The Medical Education, Tracking, Reporting and Clinical Evaluation) data, a HIPAA compliant electronic health record.
