In a recent population-based survey of Korean adults (n = 1,990), higher blood mercury (geometric mean, 4.3 µg/L) was associated with increased risk of self-reported atopic dermatitis in multi-variable analyses adjusted for fish consumption (Park and Kim 2011).
Table 3 displays patient- and health facility-level characteristics associated with attrition in the bivariate and multi-variable analyses adjusting for various demographic, clinical and site characteristics.
P-values less than 0.05 indicated by Italics Back + leg pain, back pain and leg pain intensity were dependent variables, all analyses adjusted for age and sex.
Single variable logistic regression analyses, adjusted by age, gender and haematological diagnosis, and multivariate analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of outcome using STATA.
We decided not to perform additional analyses adjusted for multiple variables to avoid over-adjusted models, since the total number of outcomes was < 30.
The analyses adjusted for variables that may confound the association between pathways and patient outcomes including hospital procedure volume.
Therefore, multivariate analyses adjusted for variables that may influence the association between schizophrenia and each outcome (Table 3).
Statistical analyses, using the SPSS program for Windows, will include bivariate and multivariate analyses adjusted for variables associated with the relationship under study.
Multiple regression analyses, adjusted for confounding variables, found the occurrence of preterm labor and short interval between pregnancies, especially up to 12 months, as independent risk factors for the recurrence of preterm delivery (OR=4.98; P<0.001, OR=5.13; P=0.007, respectively).
Analyses adjusted for all variables in Table 1.
To do this we used four stages of analysis, with all analyses adjusted for confounding variables and for the complex multi-stage sampling design of the HILDA survey.
