Table 1 Summary of flexible parametric methods used to estimate life expectancy in people with and without intellectual disabilities and T2DM
From: Flexible parametric methods for calculating life expectancy in small populations
Name of method | Approach to analysis |
|---|---|
Method 1: Fully stratified | Four individual models for: (a) Intellectual disabilities and T2DM (b) intellectual disabilities and no T2DM (c) no intellectual disabilities and T2DM (d) no intellectual disabilities and no T2DM |
Method 2: Partially stratified | Two individual models for: (a) Intellectual disabilities (b) no intellectual disabilities Interaction between T2DM and age modelled |
Method 3: Full model | One model of entire sample population Interaction between age and intellectual disability and T2DM modelled |
Method 4: Full model with adapted knots | One model of entire sample population, but with knots forced to intellectual disability sample (i.e. minority group) Interaction between age and intellectual disability and T2DM modelled |
