Model 1 is the result of a multivariable logistic regression in the high-PAS group where the dependent variable was considered as a categorized variable based on the mean value of 90. Model 2 is the result of a multiple linear regression in the high-PAS group where the dependent variable was considered as a continuous variable. In model 1, the Nagelkerke R2 value was estimated, and in model 2, the adjusted R2 value was estimated.
OR, odds ratios; B, unstandardized beta; CI, confidence interval.
