Multivariable Logistic Regression Analysis to Assess for Independent Risk Factors for Inappropriate Antibiotic Prescription When Adjusted for All Other Potential Risk Factors for Office Visits at Which Antibiotics Were Not Indicateda
Variable | OR (95% CI) | P value |
---|---|---|
Patient sex, male | 1.35 (0.95-1.9) | .09 |
Patient race, white | 1.45 (0.99-2.1) | .06 |
Resident supervised by attending physician clinic preceptor | 0.25 (0.18-0.36) | <.001 |
For stepwise selection of the multivariable model, the final model included variables that maintained a P value <.2. Model’s C statistic was 0.699.
