Ordinal Logistic Regression in Medical Research

Year: 1997

Type: article

Abstract: Medical research workers are making increasing use of logistic regression analysis for binary and ordinal data. The purpose of this paper is to give a non-technical introduction to logistic regression models for ordinal response variables. We address issues such as the global concept and interpretation of logistic models, the model building procedure from a practical point of view, and the assessment of the model adequacy. For illustrative purposes we apply these methods to real data of a study investigating the association between glycosylated haemoglobin and retinopathy. We give some recommendations for the use and assessment of ordinal logistic regression models in medical research.
