Interaction Analysis

Respiratory Support Interaction Testing

Tests whether feeding relationships differ by respiratory support status.

Unadjusted model: - Interaction coefficient: -0.094 - Interaction p-value: 0.3523 - Model R²: 0.070

Adjusted model (including confounders): - Interaction coefficient: -0.083 - Interaction p-value: 0.4074 - Model R²: 0.114

Model diagnostics warning: High multicollinearity detected. Residuals may not be normally distributed.

Statistical conclusion: No significant interaction (p = 0.4074)

With O2 Support Group Analysis

Sample size: 60 infants

Analysis includes: Optimal timing identification and slope comparison

With O2 Support: Optimization Analysis

No optimal found in data range (unadjusted)

With O2 Support: Adjusted Model

Adjusted quadratic model: - Sample size: 60 - Adjusted R²: 0.056 - Adjusted quadratic coefficient: -0.002 (p = 0.5351)
