Logistic regression is used to examine a wide range of variables that may be associated with a single outcome. Logistic regression, for example, could be used to predict the likelihood of a patient having a heart attack or stroke based on a number of factors such as age, gender, genetic characteristics, weight, and any preexisting health conditions. The biological systems and issues that the health care field is concerned with are examples of the types of applications for which logistic regression is particularly useful.
Logistic regression is used in medicine for a variety of purposes, including diagnosis, prediction, and forecasting. The three articles in this week’s Learning Resources demonstrate the many applications of logistic regression in the field of health care. This Discussion allows you to investigate the various applications of logistic regression and gain a better understanding of its use in evidence-based practice.
To get ready:
Examine the three articles in this week’s Learning Resources and assess how they employ logistic regression. Choose one article that
piques your interest and investigate it further in this Discussion.
Analyze the article you chose critically in light of the following questions:
What are the objectives and goals of the research study described in this article?
In the study, how is logistic regression used? What are the outcomes of its application?
What other quantitative and statistical approaches could be used to address the research issue raised in the article?
What are the study’s strengths and weaknesses?
How could the study’s flaws be addressed?
What impact could the findings of this study have on evidence-based practice, the nursing profession, or society?
You should proofread your paper. However, do not rely solely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part, and your grade will suffer as a result. Papers with a high number of misspelled words and grammatical errors will be penalized. Before submitting your paper, go over it in silence and then aloud, and make any necessary changes. It is often beneficial to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Uncorrected mistakes are preferable to handwritten corrections.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point typeface (10 to 12 characters per inch). Smaller or compressed type, as well as papers with narrow margins or single spacing, are difficult to read. It is preferable to allow your essay to exceed the recommended number of pages rather than attempting to compress it into fewer pages.
Large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are also unacceptable, waste trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced, and have a one-inch margin on all four sides of each page. When submitting hard copies, use white paper and print with dark ink. It will be difficult to follow your argument if it is difficult to read your essay.
