Table 3. Univariate and multivariable analysis of predictors of treatment failure, evaluating any prior treatment vs. none.

Parameter Univariate P* Multivariable P
Age at balloon dilation, per year 1.02 (0.99–1.06) 0.1
Distal bulbar stricture, yes/no 2.74 (0.75–9.99) 0.1
History of STI or UTI, yes/no 3.17 (1.18–8.55) 0.02 1.83 (0.56–5.91) 0.3
Presented with hematuria, yes/no 3.23 (1.21–8.62) 0.02 3.00 (0.94–9.60) 0.06
Prior treatments, per procedure 1.36 (1.12–1.64) 0.0003 1.34 (1.10–1.64) 0.0005
Stricture length, per cm 0.97 (0.40–2.35) 0.9

Parameters meeting statistical significance on univariate analysis were included in the multivariable model. For each parameter, odds ratios are presented with 95% confidence intervals. *, P values differ slightly from those in Tables 1 and 2 due to likelihood ratio tests being used for univariate and multivariable analysis here. STI, sexually transmitted infection. UTI, urinary tract infection.
