The predictive validity of the Drinking-Related Cognitions Scale in alcohol-dependent patients under abstinence-oriented treatment

Table 3 Adjusted odds ratios for total abstinence during the one-year post-treatment period in logistic regression analysis (n = 145)

	Wald chi-square	df	Adjusted OR (95% CI)	P-value
Expectancy and resignation	7.09	1	1.12 (1.03–1.23) ^a	0.008
Perception of impaired control	6.82	1	1.10 (1.02–1.18) ^b	0.009
Perception of drinking problems	4.88	1	1.12 (1.01–1.24) ^c	0.027
Total	8.55	1	1.05 (1.02–1.09) ^d	0.003

df = degrees of freedom; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval.
Logistic regression analysis was conducted using the forced entry method, with total abstinence as a dependent variable.
^a Adjusted for adjustment factors (age, number of admissions to a psychiatry department, history of finger tremor, employment status, educational history, and history of illegal drug usage or abuse). Odds ratio refers to a per-point increment in the score for expectancy and resignation.
^b Adjusted for adjustment factors in ^a. Odds ratio refers to a per-point increment in the score for perception of impaired control.
^c Adjusted for adjustment factors in ^a. Odds ratio refers to a per-point increment in the score for perception of drinking problems.
^d Adjusted for adjustment factors in ^a. Odds ratio refers to a per-point increment in the total score.
