Univariate and multivariate logistic regression modeling of predictors of Florida Poison Information Center (Miami) reporting ciguatera fish poisoning illnesses to the Florida Department of Health, 1998-2001
a
N=100 observations. Model 1 contains all predictors, and Model 2, the final model, contains only those predictors that were significant at p<0.05 after controlling for all other variables in the model (i.e., in Model 1).
b
Outbreak illness = illness with same food exposure as at least one other FPICM illness.
MLR = multivariate logistic regression
OR = odds ratio
CI = confidence interval
