Janardhan et al. (A-28) examined 125 patients who underwent surgical or endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms. At 30 days postprocedure, 17 subjects experienced transient/persistent neurological deficits. The researchers performed logistic regression and found that the 95 percent confidence interval for the odds ratio for aneurysm size was .09–.96. Aneurysm size was dichotomized as less than 13 mm and greater than or equal to 13 mm. The larger tumors indicated higher odds of deficits. Describe the variables as to whether they are continuous, discrete, quantitative, or qualitative. What conclusions may be drawn from the given information?
