    How to adjust data of confounding variables adjusting diabetes to BMI and age



    I am doing a study of pregnant diabetes women. There are 3 types Type 1 , 2 and gestational. Then various ages and bmis. Outcomes study include type of delivery , gestational weeks for delivery, diet or insulin use, etc. Baby stats are birth weight, admission to NICU, apgar score , congenatal anomolies etc. How to go about analyzing these data. I have compared the groups using T test, anova .
    How would you compare the 3 diabetes group across 3 outcomes miscarriage , c section or natural labour.
    How do you adjust diabetes to the variables BMI and age?
    Any help would be useful
    thanks in advance

    You could use a multinomial regression (which is like logistic
    regression but with more than 2 outcome categories), with
    diabetes type, bmi and age as predictors.

    You could use a multinomial regression with diabetes type,
    bmi and age as predictors. This will do the adjustment. If
    you have no idea what adjustment, is you might perhaps
    want to ask the persons who gave you the order to supply
    you with more information.

    Kind regards

    thanks i got it now.
    Another question i got about another study i have a 2 by 3 table of data. continous data . Would we use 2 way anova to calculate significance across the group. 3 divisions like improved , died, went against medical advice and then 2 rows with low anion gap and the next group is high anion group( continous variable) Is 2 way anova correct for this

    What do the cells contain, number of subjects? Or did you measure
    some variable and the cells contain means of that variable?

    Kind regards
