Table 3.

Cross-classified multi-level logistic model examining the relationship between nasoalveolar molding preparation status and ratings of cleft severity and expected outcomes among patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate

		Minimum severity cleft		Best anticipated surgical outcome		Unlikely to need revision
		B	95% C.I.	B	95% C.I.	B	95% C.I.
NAM		5.45	(4.46, 6.44)	3.84	(3.14, 4.54)	4.68	(3.65, 5.71)
Random Intercepts	SD(Surgeons)	0.50	(0.28, 0.92)	0.41	(0.22, 0.76)	0.59	(0.33, 1.07)
	SD(Patients)	2.01	(1.61, 2.5)	1.69	(1.37, 2.08)	4.34	(3.52, 5.34)
AIC		875.5		1089.6		879.5

Note: NAM is nasoalveolar molding; SD is standard deviation; C.I. is confidence interval; AIC is the Akaike’s information criterion
