Unstandardized beta coefficient | p value | 95% confidence interval | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Age | 0.067 | 0.026 | 0.009 | 0.126 |
Gap (mm) | 0.375 | 0.011 | 0.093 | 0.658 |
The beta coefficient indicates the factor by which a one-unit increase in the variable increases the outcome. For example, for every 1 year increase in age, the amount of time expected for healing increases by 0.067 months. As a result, healing time was prolonged by approximately 2 days (p = 0.026) for each year of increased age and by 11.25 days (p = 0.011) for each 1 mm increase in fracture
