n = 596. 155 of 265 patients given an exercise tolerance test met these criteria; 110 patients were given an exercise tolerance test but did not meet the criteria.
↵2-150 Logistic regression equation is 1/1+e (−b1×1 + b2×2 + b3×3...bixi);
↵2-151 a unit change in an independent variable creates a change in the odds of the dependent variable occurring by a factor of this number—a value of 1 indicates no change in the odds;
↵2-152 coded so that being a man is 1 and being a woman is 0;
