endpoint variable ratio


Explanation:
The **endpoint variable** considered was **the contraction of the disease by contacts**. Odds ratio (OR) and its respective reliability rate of 95% were estimated. A multifactor logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the factors associated with the chance of contracting the disease among contacts and **determine the independent effect of each variable on the endpoint**. The significance level for statistical tests was 0.05.
