No significant association was found for any specific subgroup neither in the univariate nor in the multivariate analysis when compared with the non-uveitis group.
In reality there are a multiplicity of factors that do influence the mother in making such a decision, thus, the study goes a step further to carry out a multivariate analysis when these variables are allowed to interplay.
The prognostic profile maintained independent prognostic significance in multivariate analysis when correcting for debulking status and the response to therapy.
Major depressive disorder demonstrated a positive crude association with hypertension diagnosis that did not persist in multivariate analysis when adjustment was made for demographics and traumatic life events.
In multivariate analysis, when age, working hospital and working duration were included in the model, BCG was the only parameter showing significant association with this discordance (OR = 2.26 [95%CI, 1.09 4.71]) (Table not shown).
Of note, these oncogenic pathways lost independent prognostic significance in multivariate analysis when the profile was included, suggesting that our prognostic classifier is capturing complex phenotypes and that outcome differences in ovarian cancer may not be adequately explained by deregulation of a single oncogenic or signaling pathway.
We found a statistically significant difference in the CSF WBC count between subtypes B and C in the univariate analysis where subjects with subtype C had more CSF cells than those with subtype B. This result could not be verified in the multivariate analysis when all other independent variables were taken into account.
Factors that were significant in univariate analysis were evaluated by multivariate analysis, when applicable.
Only three previous studies used multivariate analysis when evaluating the association between race/ethnicity and NVP.
Variables were brought into multivariate analysis when there was statistical significance in univariate analysis.
In addition, our findings underscore the importance of using multivariate analysis when comparing 25OHD levels in different diseases.
