| Abstract | <p><b>UNLABELLED: </b>BACKGROUND/STUDY CONTEXT: The objective of this study was to examine sequential and simultaneous approaches to multiple imputation of missing data in a longitudinal data set where losses due to death were common.</p><p><b>METHODS: </b>Comparison of results from analyses and simulations of time to incident difficulty of activities of daily living (ADL) in the Cardiovascular Health Study when missing data were imputed simultaneously or sequentially.</p><p><b>RESULTS: </b>Results differed with imputation methods. The largest proportional differences in 12 risk factor parameter estimates were heart failure by 106%, social support by 33%, and arthritis by 27%.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION: </b>Decedents' final characteristics were influential on future imputations of those with missing values.</p> |
