GEE parameter estimates for Total Bilirubin predicting Transplant

Parameter Estimate Odds Ratio p-value 95% Confidence Limits for Odds Ratio

Placebo 3-4 0.82 2.28 0.0266 0.90 5.75
NAC 3-4 0.87 2.38 0.81 6.98
Placebo 1-2 1.20 3.31 1.48 7.41
NAC 1-2* 0.00 1.00

Day 1 0.23 1.26 0.0282 1.00 1.59
Day 2 0.32 1.37 1.10 1.72
Day 3 0.18 1.20 1.00 1.44
Day 4** 0.00 1.00

Total Bilirubin 0.03 1.03 0.0227 1.00 1.07

Using NAC 1-2 as the reference group, all other groups show positive estimate values indicating higher likelihood of transplantation. Day 4 is the reference day that is then compared with the prior 3 days. The effect is greatest on Day 2 and less so for Days 1 and 3 compared to Day 4.
