Table 4 Log-quadratic relationship with time since injury, within tertiles of socioeconomic statusa

From: Modelling memory decay after injuries using household survey data from Khartoum State, Sudan

Tertile of socioeconomic status

Crude injury rate in month 1 before interview (per 100 person-years) (SE)

Regression coefficient of linear term (per month) (SE)

Regression coefficient of quadratic term (per month) (SE)

  1. aData are included for reported injuries in months 1–11 before interview. The models incorporate common main effects of sex, age, urban/rural status and education, in addition to a random household effect
  2. bCalculated moving backwards in time, starting at the middle of the month preceding the interview
