All variables considered for inclusion in the logistic regression model are shown. Those variables for which the significance of the Wald statistic is ≤0.05 were found to have a significant independent effect on mortality. B is the weight given to variables in the logistic regression equation. The model χ2 and the Hosmer Lemeshow test are tests of the goodness of fit of the model.
