Table 3. The results of multiple binary logistic regression for the individual predictors of AMS in Nepalese pilgrims upon arrival to Gosainkunda (4380 m).
Variable† | B (SE) | Odds ratio | p-value | |
Statistic | 95% CI | |||
Constant | −1.57 (0.19) | 0.60 | 0.003 | |
Sex | 0.57 (0.23) | 1.77* | 1.14, 2.75 | 0.011 |
Age | 1.06 (0.22) | 2.89* | 1.89, 4.39 | <0.001 |
Ascent rate | 0.81 (0.17) | 2.26* | 1.35, 3.76 | 0.002 |
Males, subjects ≤35 years, and the 2-day ascent group were used as the reference categories for the calculation of odds ratios.
This result is significant (i.e., p<0.05).
