 Multiple logistic regression for the effect of variables on PCR

Variables Coefficient
(B) Odds
ratio
(Exp B) Confidence
interval (CI) P‐value
Sex (M/F) 1.227 3.412 (1.012, 11.507) 0.048
Moderate/severe 1.393 4.027 (1.196, 13.562) 0.025
Acute exacerbation/no exacerbation 2.014 7.490 (2.120, 26.460) 0.002

Logistic regression equation: Y=(pos=1 vs. neg=0)=−4.084+1.227 × sex+1.393 × mod/sev+2.014 × exacerbation.
