Clinical Decision Support: Using Logistic Regression to Diagnose COPD and CHF ©2012 Wayne G. Fischer, PhD 1 COPD patient inclusion criteria: Discharged 01Feb 31Oct2011 > 40 years of age Primary dx of COPD, or any one or more of the 11 “indicator” variables All multiple encounters, no matter when COPD first diagnosed
What is Logistic Regression? 2 ©2012 Wayne G. Fischer, PhD Start with the sigmoid…the “s-curve”: Probability X (predictor or indicator variable) 0 = absent 1 = present Condition / Event f
