Table 8.

Multivariable regression analysis using variables found significant in univariate analysis. The β-coefficient represents the change in percentage area affected for every 1 unit rise in variables for albumin, BMI, number of grade 3/4 symptoms. and age. For log10TTP, this represents the change in percentage area affected for a 10-fold increase in TTP. For ethnicity, HIV, and diabetes this indicates the percentage difference in area affected between the two groups (for example, compared to the African cohort, Asians had 0.67% less area affected on the CXR than the African cohort)
