Prognosis of conservatively treated patients with Pott's paraplegia: logistic regression analysis.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prognostic significance of various clinical, radiological, and neurophysiological findings in conservatively treated patients with Pott's paraplegia, using multiple regression analysis. METHODS The study included 43 patients with Pott's paraplegia, managed conservatively. The diagnosis of Pott's spine was based on clinical, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed to...
متن کاملPrognosis for patients treated conservatively for spontaneous intracerebral hematomas.
The long-term clinical and CT-outcome of 53 conservatively treated patients with spontaneous intracerebral hematomas (ICH) was studied in relation to the acute findings. The acute mortality of ICH was 27%. Determinant for the immediate prognosis was the level of consciousness and the volume of the hematoma. The crucial size was 50 ml with a mortality of 90% for hematomas larger and 10% for hema...
متن کاملLogistic Regression Tree Analysis
This chapter describes a tree-structured extension and generalization of the logistic regression method for fitting models to a binary-valued response variable. The technique overcomes a significant disadvantage of logistic regression, which is interpretability of the model in the face of multicollinearity and Simpson’s paradox. Section 1 summarizes the statistical theory underlying the logisti...
متن کاملUnderstanding logistic regression analysis
Logistic regression is used to obtain odds ratio in the presence of more than one explanatory variable. The procedure is quite similar to multiple linear regression, with the exception that the response variable is binomial. The result is the impact of each variable on the odds ratio of the observed event of interest. The main advantage is to avoid confounding effects by analyzing the associati...
متن کاملLong-term (three-year) prognosis of patients treated with reperfusion or conservatively after acute myocardial infarction. Israeli Thrombolytic Survey Group.
OBJECTIVES This survey sought to assess the frequency of the use of thrombolytic therapy, invasive coronary procedures (ICP) (angiography, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG]), variables associated with their use, and their impact on early (30-day) and long-term (3-year) mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND Few dat...
