Binomial regression model for anosmia
Table 5 shows the results of binomial regression model for loss of smell as the dependent variable and including the predictors: age, sex, smoking status, chronic respiratory disease and ICU admission as the independent variables. The predictors explained 2.6% of the variation in loss of smell (R2=0.026). The only significant predictor that had an effect on loss of smell is sex of participants (P=0.001).
