- Incomplete observations were excluded from the logistic analysis. The presented final model had 134 observations entered and yielded the highest likelihood ratio. Nagelkerke’s R
2 was 0.69. The 11 presented variables were those included in the final logistic model
-
p Values <0.2 are detailed. p Values <0.05 were considered significant (bold)
