150 Chapter 7 Table 6: The odds ratios of the significant independent variables (RODI-scores, total XI-scores, flow rates of UWS, CH-SWS or A-SWS) of the frequently used interventions with significant difference among the patient subgroups. The odds ratio including the 95% CI is reported. For the significant associations also the last step of the Omnibus test Chi-square including the df and p-values were reported. Furthermore, the Coxx & Snell and the Nagelkerke R square were mentioned.
