Logistic Regression Models for 1- and 3-Month Mortality for Dutch and US Residents with Lower Respiratory Tract Infections
| 1-Month Mortality | 3-Month Mortality | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable | Parameter Estimate | Odds Ratio (95% CI) | Parameter Estimate | Odds Ratio (95% CI) |
| CI = confidence interval. | ||||
| * The odds ratios shown for age, pulse, and respiratory rate are for 10-unit change. | ||||
| † Coding for bladder incontinence is as follows: 1 = continent, 2 = usually continent, 3 = incontinent 2 or more times a week. | ||||
| ‡ Coding for eating dependency is as follows: 0 = independent, 1= requires assistance, 2 = fully dependent. | ||||
| § A nonsignificant P value indicates good fit over the range of mortality risk. | ||||
