Table 3. Logistic Regression Analysis of the relationship between the likelihood of postoperative complications based on treatment with or without HBOT and the amount of radiation damage. a − variables entered on step 1 were HBOT, radiation damage; Beta − coefficient for the constant (intercept); CI = confidence interval; df − degrees of freedom for the Wald Chi-Square test; Exp (β) − exponentiation of the β coefficient (odds ratio); SE − standard error; Wald − Wald Chi-Square that tests the null hypothesis that the constant equals 0 .
