My analysis is determining the association between weight (continuous variable) and post-operative complications (yes/no). I am doing a multivariable logistic regression analysis, adjusting for seven predictors (1 has multiple categories, 5 are yes/no, and 1 is continuous). I notice that the association between weight and complication is not exactly linear, so it is recommended that I do restricted cubic splines. I was using the following code:

 

proc logistic data=weight.avg_pred_val_all_data2;

effect spl_weight = spline(weight/naturalcubic knotmethod=percentiles(5));/*natural cubic splines with knots at quartiles*/

model est_prob= spl_weight/ cl;

output out=predicted_values pred=pred;

run;

 

Where est_prob is the probability of any complication.I then plotted the unadjusted spline association between weight and probability of any complication:

 

ods graphics/height=6.5in width=10in imagename="Figure2_revised_with_cubicspline" border=off;

proc sgplot data=predicted_values noautolegend;

xaxis label='Weight (kg)';

yaxis label='Any complication' values=(0 to 60 by 5);

series x=weight y=pred/ lineattrs=(color=gray pattern=solid thickness=2);

run;

 

 

My question is, how do I show the association between weight and any complication, adjusted for my seven predictors?

If your full model doesn't involve interactions, have a look at proc gam.

Better post it at Stat Forum , since it is a Statistical Problem. proc logistic has already built-in Graphics to display it .Check EFFECTPLOT statement : http://blogs.sas.com/content/iml/2016/03/21/statistical-analysis-stephen-curry-shooting.html

Thanks for your suggestions

Hi, Is there way to output the estimate estimate from the effectplot? For example, the outcome at weight = x.

What is ANOVA?

ANOVA, or Analysis Of Variance, is used to compare the averages or means of two or more populations to better understand how they differ. Watch this tutorial for more.
