Multivariable three level mixed model of factors associated with log IRPC of 1184 pigs belonging to 25 herds that had seropositive young stock.

Sample size (n); standard error (SE); probability function (p); 95% confidence interval (CI^a) when pigs' log IRPC (+12) values were used as a continuous outcome variable; Odds Ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI^b) when pig-level seropositivity (absence/presence of antibodies) was used as a comparative binary outcome variable (exp(coefficient+/-(1.96 × standard error))).
