Table 4.

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 bilateral 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		5.00	(2.81, 7.19)	4.62	(2.94, 6.30)	3.47	(2.11, 4.83)
Random Intercepts	SD(Surgeons)	1.50	(0.88, 2.58)	1.19	(0.71, 2.00)	1.03	(0.63, 1.66)
	SD(Patients)	1.85	(1.45, 2.36)	1.66	(1.32, 2.09)	3.31	(2.76, 3.96)
AIC		807.8		972.5		1257.2

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