Table 3 Results from the multivariate sensitivity analysis: key factors that increase (Partial Rank Correlation Coefficient [PRCC] > 0) or decrease (PRCC < 0) the predicted total number of resident cases over 100 days. A higher absolute value of PRCC indicates a strong relationship between that parameter and the outcome
