Logistic regression model has controlled for year of admission, gender and age at admission. Predefined predictors were added to the baseline model in sequential order to estimate their joint independent effects on the outcome. Each model was initially run with all the specified predictors, then rerun with stepwise selection to include significant predictors only and obtain final estimates of effect size. Model-adjusted estimates of ORs (compared with the reference level), 95% CI and associated individual p-values (in symbols) were reported.
AA, alternative admission (ie, non-school leaver); GPA, Grade Point Average; GPE, Grade Point Equivalent; MAPAS, Māori and Pacific Admission Scheme; SL, school leaver.
