Table 3 The interaction effect estimates between tinnitus and several additional variables. Confounding was adjusted for via both regression adjustment and IPTW, firstly when no moderator-confounder interactions were accounted for in the adjustment model and secondly when all possible moderator-confounder interactions were accounted for in the adjustment model
Regression adjustment | IPTW | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
No \({\varvec{M}}\times {\varvec{X}}\) interactions | All \({\varvec{M}}\times {\varvec{X}}\) interactions | No \({\varvec{M}}\times {\varvec{X}}\) interactions | All \({\varvec{M}}\times {\varvec{X}}\) interactions | |
