Table 3. Associations with abnormal contractile response.

The strength of association among each individual parameter with an abnormal contractile response (CR) was evaluated using univariable binary logistic regression; i.e. abnormal CR (impaired/disordered, absent, or spastic-reactive) was utilized as the dependent variable. hpf – high-powered field.
