Using SAS 9.4

 

I ran the following code

 

PROC LOGISTIC DATA =have;
CLASS tertile (REF = '0') ;
MODEL infection (event= 'Yes')= tertile / stb;
RUN;

 

I have binary infection variable and tertile is categorical with 3 levels.

 

My question is when running this code it returned a p-value of 0.04 and an OR 7.1 and a 95% CI of (0.874, 58.689). Can this be correct to have an CI that includes 1 and a significant p-value?

Did you notice that the Type 3 Test shows that the main effect (Tertile) is not significant for predicting Infection?

I saw that which was why I was wondering that the individual tertile is showing significance. Should I have used a wald test in this situation? Thank you

Try adding option CLPARM=BOTH to the model statement. From proc logistic documentation:

 

There are two methods of computing confidence intervals for the regression parameters. One is based on the profile-likelihood function, and the other is based on the asymptotic normality of the parameter estimators. The latter is not as time-consuming as the former, because it does not involve an iterative scheme; however, it is not thought to be as accurate as the former, especially with small sample size.
