Results from 2 multivariable mixed effect logistic regression models predicting probability of systemic highest priority critically important antimicrobial (HPCIA) prescription in study of factors associated with prescription of antimicrobial drugs for dogs and cats, United Kingdom, 2014–2016. Modeling is shown for sick dogs (A) and cats (B) against age of the animal at time of consultation, in years. For cats, an interaction term considering sex has been included.

Figure 2. Results from 2 multivariable mixed effect logistic regression models predicting probability of systemic highest priority critically important antimicrobial (HPCIA) prescription in study of factors associated with prescription of antimicrobial drugs for dogs and cats, United Kingdom, 2014–2016. Modeling is shown for sick dogs (A) and cats (B) against age of the animal at time of consultation, in years. For cats, an interaction term considering sex has been included. Lines refer to predicted probability; shading relates to 95% CIs for such predictions. Points and triangles are plotted to show original data points expressing the percentage of animals of each relevant age group (rounded to 0.5-year groups) for which a systemic HPCIA was prescribed, according to the dataset analyzed.
