Table 4 logistic regression analysis for ABR results according to risk factors

Risk factor	EXP (B)	95 % CI for EXP (B)		P-value
Risk factor	EXP (B)	Lower	Upper	P-value
Preterm	18.197	1.199	276.128	0.037*
Low BW	2.708	0.258	28.449	0.407
Hyper bilirubinemia with blood transfusion	0.129	0.006	2.681	0.186
Preterm + low BW	16.097	2.215	116.959	0.006**

EXP (B): this is the exponentiation of the B coefficient, which is an odds ratio. This value is given by default because odd ratios can be easier to interpret than the coefficient, which is in log-odds unit. CI: confidence interval of the difference of a numerical field that is expected to contain the true value of a statistical parameter to be known for a population. BW, birth weight. *Statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). **Statistically significant difference (p < 0.01)
