This table shows the results of the univariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis for the outcome of persistent or increased posttransplant opioid use. For the multivariate model, all variables listed in the table were included in the same model. The right-most column lists the estimated incidence of the outcome, persistent or increased posttransplant opioid use, for each level of the categorical variables. This is the output of the logistic regression model, also known as the marginal probability of outcome. This is not possible to compute for the continuous variables. C.I.=confidence interval.
