Choice of parameters in the DLNM model

Model	Exposure	Lag	AIC
1	ns; k = 1	bs; k = 2	−549,00
2	bs; k = 1	bs; k = 2	−540,65
3	ns; k = 4	bs; k = 3	−539,27
4	bs; k = 4	bs; k = 3	−525,19

Note(s): The use of natural cubic B-splines $n s$ and quadratic B-splines $b s$ $(d f = 2)$ with equally spaced cuts or nodes in the spline functions $(k = 1; k = 2)$ for the exposure functions $f (φ)$ and lag $w (l)$ ⁠. AIC: Akaike information criterion
