Granular analysis of pathways to care and durations of untreated psychosis: A marginal delay model. by Walter S Mathis, Maria Ferrara, Shadie Burke, Emily Hyun, Fangyong Li, Bin Zhou, John Cahill, Emily R Kline, Matcheri S Keshavan, Vinod H Srihari

“…Marginal-delay, or the portion of overall delay attributable to a specific node, was computed as the number of days between the start dates of contiguous nodes on the PTC. Sources of delay within the network of care were quantified and patient characteristic (sex, age, race, income, insurance, living, education, employment, and function) influences on such delays were analyzed via bivariate and mixed model testing.…”
