Multivariate binomial regression was used to obtain prevalence proportion differences (PPDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for each predictor level in relation to the reference group.
For non-binary variables the odds ratios provided are computed by comparing the odds of each specified outcome level for each given predictor level with reference categories obtained by aggregating those for all other levels.
However, because the effect of one continuous predictor generally changed with another predictor level, the selection of cutoffs is still a challenge, especially in comparing the results from different studies.
We let be the change in the predictor variable from time t−2 to t−1, is the predictor level at time t−2, and Ci index baseline covariates for the ith individual.

The resulting coefficients estimate ratios of median concentrations comparing across predictor levels.
Analyses investigated urinary 3-PBA levels as both a dichotomous predictor (levels below versus above the limit of detection) and a continuous predictor (log10-transformed levels).
Predictor levels were coded −0.5 and 0.5, respectively, to ensure that main effects were interpretable even in the presence of interactions (Aiken and West 1991; Schielzeth 2010).
Individual level patient predictors (Level 1) were tested first, followed by contextual system and provider predictors (Level 2).
Individual predictors (level 1) extracted from the screening programme database included age, gender, and scheme of statutory health insurance coverage.
Positive likelihood ratio were performed to analyze sensitivity and specificity of the predictors level(the greater the ratio the greater probability of true positive in a positive result) (Table 4).
Individual predictors (level 1) extracted from the screening programme database included gender, age, scheme of statutory health insurance and invitation sources that induced participation (those recommended in the French programme: GP and FOBT sent by mail).
