  1. 1 β corresponds to the unstandardized coefficients from the regression model.
  2. 2 β corresponds to the standardized coefficients from the regression model. β is calculated with the method suggested by Agresti[26] and Menard[30]: β= βSx, where Sx is the standard deviation of predictor x.
  3. 3The 5th column presents the 95% confidence interval of odds ratio
