Multivariable multinominal regression analysis for identification of independent predictor(s) differentiating fourth-ventricular medulloblastoma, pilocytic astrocytoma, and ependymoma.

Pathology	Predictor	B coefficient	Odds ratio (95% confidence interval)	p value
Pilocytic astrocytoma	ADC 10th percentile	0.013	1.013 (1.002–1.025)	0.022
	Intercept	−15.887		0.021
Medulloblastoma	ADC 10th percentile	−0.014	0.986 (0.977–0.996)	0.004
	Intercept	9.269		0.003
The reference category is ependymoma.

ADC: apparent diffusion coefficient. In stepwise multivariable multinominal regression analysis for differentiation of fourth-ventricular medulloblastoma, pilocytic astrocytoma, and ependymoma (n = 51), ADC 10th percentile value was the only independent predictor (p < 0.001 for whole regression model).
