Comparative Summary of Logistic Regression Models for Incidence of Superficial Incisional Surgical Site Infection

Model Variables Omnibus tests of model coefficients* (p value) AUC
1 Normalized Subcutaneous Fat (per 10% increase) 0.023 0.60 ± 0.044
2 BMI 0.73 0.52 ± 0.039
3 ASA, smoking, steroid use, incision-to-close operative time (h), normalized subcutaneous fat < 0.001 0.69 ± 0.036
4 ASA, smoking, steroid use, incision-to-close operative time (h), BMI 0.002 0.68 ± 0.041

The Omnibus tests of model coefficients provide an absolute measure of model validity by testing the predictive ability of all covariates in the model compared to a constant-only model
