marginally statistically significantp = 0.045actually significant

A test of the statistical interaction between timepoint and Inpatient Rehabilitation and Home groups, indicated that the interaction was marginally statistically significant (likelihood ratio chi-square (3) = 8.0, p = 0.045); in other words, the magnitude of the relative risks for high pain between the two groups significantly differed across time.

did not reach statistical significancep = 0.42not close (p > 0.1)

At 12-months, there was a lower incidence of high pain in the Inpatient Rehabilitation group but this clearly did not reach statistical significance (relative risk = 0.79, CI 0.43–1.42, p = 0.42).
