Multiple logistic regression for age at initial presentation, sex, and responses to steroids.

Association of SR with:	Odds ratio	Standard error	P-value	95% confidence interval
Age >8years	2.79	0.49	0.03	1.08–7.37
Female sex	3.91	0.48	0.004	1.78–10.50
Black race	8.14	0.63	0.0009	2.52–30.84

Black race, age 8 years or above at presentation, and female sex were independently associated with steroid resistance (SR).
