This table presents the results of a multivariable logistic regression analysis examining which headache characteristics were associated with the avoid pregnancy group (as 1) or no impact group (as 0). All explanatory variables were entered simultaneously using the forced-entry method. Odds ratios greater than 1 indicate a higher likelihood of avoiding pregnancy. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant and are marked with an asterisk (*). The logistic regression model demonstrated acceptable explanatory power, with a Nagelkerke’s R² of 0.373. The overall model was statistically significant (χ² = 40.5, p < 0.001).
