Table 2. Logistic Regression of Model of Tics vs. No Tics (Dependent Variable).

Adjusted Odds Ratio (95% CI) p-Value
Cesarean section 5.78 (1.60–20.91) 0.007
Prenatal smoking exposure 3.07 (1.24–7.60) 0.01
Neonatal respiratory syndrome 1.21 (0.325.61) 0.77
Prenatal infection 2.84 (0.40–19.84) 0.29

Abbreviation: CI, Confidence Interval.

The logistic regression model was adjusted for family history of tics, body mass index, and presence of any coexistent comorbid neuropsychiatric disturbances.

The model fitness was adequate (Nagelke R2, p = 0.28; Hosmer–Lemeshow, p = 0.67). This model classified 73.4% of the population (55.1% with tics and 85.3% without tics).
