aConfidence intervals could not be calculated. Reference means the category used as reference (ie, to which other categories are compared). The Hosmer–Lemeshow Test yielded a P value of .21, χ28=10.9, Aikake Information Criterion of 542, and coefficient of determination (R2) of 48%.

bItalicized P values are significant.
