Regression coefficients from metamodeling on the stroke and IHD deaths by the salt reduction intervention.
Parameters
Dependent variable (Y): stroke and IHD deaths
Intercept
1337.86
: probability for the stroke-free population to have first stroke in the year 1
646.35
: probability for the stroke-free population to have first major stroke in the year 1
6.18
: probability for the stroke-free population to die from stroke and IHD causes in the year 1
38.49
: probability for population free of stroke
2.45
: probability of recurrent stroke in ischemic stroke patients after 1 year
13.05
: probability for the minor stroke patients to die from stroke and IHD causes in the year 1
6.67
: probability for first minor stroke (1st year) to minor stroke subsequent years
0.45
: probability of recurrent stroke in ischemic stroke patients after 5 years
−6.49
: probability for the stroke patients to die from stroke and IHD deaths causes 1 year after first admission
−1.72
: probability for minor stroke subsequent years
−2.96
: probability for the major stroke patients to die from stroke and IHD causes
