Outcomes of High-Risk Pregnancies in Northern Iran: Multivariate Logistic Regression Model

Abstract Background and purpose: High-risk pregnancy is referred to a situation in which mother, fetus or neonate are in higher risk of morbidity or mortality. Because of adverse outcomes of high-risk pregnancies, this study aims to determine these outcomes in the North of Iran.  Materials and Methods: We recruited 803 urban and rural pregnant women in this crosssectional ...

Bayesian multivariate logistic regression.

Bayesian analyses of multivariate binary or categorical outcomes typically rely on probit or mixed effects logistic regression models that do not have a marginal logistic structure for the individual outcomes. In addition, difficulties arise when simple noninformative priors are chosen for the covariance parameters. Motivated by these problems, we propose a new type of multivariate logistic dis...

Predictive factors for loneliness in female high school students; an unvariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis

Background and aims: Loneliness typically includes anxious feelings. It is particularly relevant to adolescence period. It has effect on physical and mental health. The present study aimed to identify the predictive factors of loneliness among high schools female students.

Prediction of unwanted pregnancies using logistic regression, probit regression and discriminant analysis

  Background: Unwanted pregnancy not intended by at least one of the parents has undesirable consequences for the family and the society. In the present study, three classification models were used and compared to predict unwanted pregnancies in an urban population.   Methods : In this cross-sectional study, 887 pregnant mothers referring to health centers in Khorramabad, Iran, in 2012 were ...

The Relationship between Modified Biophysical Profile, Standard Biophysical Profile, and Neonatal Outcomes of High-risk Pregnancies

Introduction: High-risk pregnancies can result in many complications for the fetus. In these pregnancies, different tests such as non-stress test (NST), biophysical profile (BPP), oxytocin contraction stress test (OCT), and Doppler sonography can be used to evaluate fetal health. As standard BBP requires more time and expertise, in this study, we evaluated the relationship between standard BPP,...
