We need to address several concerns when running logistic regression in Stata.
- You need to have estimates only for certain decimal point .
- The 95% CIs should follow the ORs in parenthesis
- Should be easy to identify the Reference category
- Ideally would want to see the labels of coded categorical values
For such situation, the fantastic esttab and estout packages are incredibly useful. An example follows
logistic outcome i.ageGrp i.sex i.rural , baselevels cformat(%5.2f) pformat(%5.3f) sformat(%8.3f)
est store e1
estout e1 , cells (" b(fmt(2)) ci(par( ( , ) )) p(fmt(3)) ") label eform
Code language: Stata (stata)
One thing to note, the Variables are not displayed, only their categories. It may prove to be problematic if many variables use same value tables. So instead of using Yes/No value labels, it is helpful to label categories as Hypertensive/Nonhypertensive, diabetic/non-diabetic, etc
