Clinical Significance Statistical significance focuses on the null value of the effect. More important is clinical significance defined by the smallest clinically beneficial and harmful values of the effect. These values are usually equal and opposite in sign.
â¢ Rule of thumb: select all the variables whose p-value < 0.25 along with the variables of known. clinical importance. Step 2: Fit a multiple logistic regression model using the variables selected in step 1. â¢ Verify the importance of each variable in this multiple model using Wald statistic. â¢ Compare the coefficients of the each variable with the coefficient from the model containing only that. variable.
