Results of Multivariable Logistic Regression for Continuous Smoking Abstinence From 4 to 12 Months
Odds ratio (95% CI) | P | |
---|---|---|
Specialist services vs. nonspecialist services | 1.477 (1.092, 1.997) | .011 |
Age (y) | 1.013 (1.002, 1.023) | .016 |
Female vs. male | 0.933 (0.723, 1.205) | .596 |
Married or living with a partner vs. all other | 1.520 (1.158, 1.995) | .003 |
Low education (up to GCSE vs. A-level or above) | 0.940 (0.726, 1.218) | .641 |
Unemployed vs. all other | 0.634 (0.398, 1.012) | .056 |
Free prescription vs. no free prescription | 0.898 (0.675, 1.195) | .461 |
Any previous quit attempts vs. no previous quit attempt | 0.702 (0.439, 1.123) | .140 |
Longest time managed to quit before: >4 weeks vs. ≤4 weeks | 1.770 (1.245, 2.517) | .001 |
Cigarettes per day before quitting: <10 vs. ≥10 | 0.785 (0.605, 1.018) | .068 |
First cigarette within 5 minutes after waking vs. >5 minutes | 0.817 (0.586, 1.140) | .235 |
Living with a smoking partner vs. not living with a smoking partner | 0.888 (0.639, 1.236) | .480 |
Use of NRT vs. no use of NRT during 2–3 months | 1.652 (1.214, 2.248) | .001 |
Use of varenicline vs. no use of varenicline during 2–3 months | 1.335 (0.987, 1.805) | .060 |
CI = confidence interval; GCSE = General Certificate of Secondary Education; NRT = nicotine replacement therapy. The multivariable analysis used data from 1154 participants, and data from 250 participants were excluded from the analysis because of missing data from some independent variables. After including the treatment condition as an independent variable, the results of the logistic regression analysis remain materially unchanged.
