When it comes to interpretation, you may say something like: "on average, treatment A patients showed higher levels of the blood measure, controlling for gender". | |
| Sep 24, 2021 at 13:34 | comment | added | Wupppa | Great, thank you so much! And e.g. in the first model this would count as "adjusting for gender" since it is "just" included as another predictor. Or will this only have an effect on the interpretation of the model and how I need to report it? | |
