Table 4 The regression coefficient was determined to find the effects of a predictor variable on the severity of dengue cases. Since the P values are all < 0.05, therefore, the variables are significant to the model. Wald statistics identified that each factor is significant and contributes to the prediction model
From: The east coast districts are the possible epicenter of severe dengue in Sabah
Variable | Regression coefficient | Adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) | Wald statistics | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Age (0–9 years) | 1.87 | 6.5 (3.45–12.27) | 33.36 | < 0.001 |
Mixed dengue virus serotype | 2.56 | 13 (3.67–46.01) | 15.78 | < 0.001 |
Dengue virus serotype-1 | 0.62 | 1.8 (1.21–2.88) | 7.88 | 0.005 |
Districts of east coast | 1.65 | 5.2 (2.74–9.79) | 25.64 | < 0.001 |
