Table 3

Predictors of subtype change. Table shows factors significantly influencing subtype transition between first and last follow-up.

Candidate predictorInfluenceP value
Baseline NSST probabilityHigher baseline probability score is associated with less transitionp=0.0002
Complement component C4Higher C4 is associated with less transitionp=0.003
Chronic Conditions Index (CCI)Higher CCI is associated with less transitionp=0.01
Antidepressant usageAntidepressant usage is associated with less transitionp=0.02
Follow-up intervalLonger follow-up is associated with transitionp=0.03
