Table 3:
Multivariable mixed effect logistic regression illustrating the relationship between directional changes in modality, changes in physician, and follow-up time interval in years. CT to CT and no change in physician were the default categories for the regression. OR = odd ratio. CI = confidence interval. OR for time interval is expressed as odds ratio per year of inter-exam interval.
Predictor | OR (95% CI) relative to default predictor | p-value | |
---|---|---|---|
Modality pair | CT to CT transition (default) | – | – |
CT to MRI transition | 1.055 (0.534 – 2.09) | 0.877 | |
MRI to CT transition | 0.898 (0.449 – 1.797) | 0.761 | |
MRI to MRI transition | 0.456 (0.281 – 0.741) | 0.00153 | |
Change in radiologist | No change in radiologist (default) | – | – |
Change in radiologist | 1.122 (0.687 – 1.833) | 0.645 | |
Time interval (years) | 1.769 (1.062 – 2.947) | 0.0284 |
