Results from 2 multivariable mixed effect logistic regression models predicting probability of topical antimicrobial 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 both species, an interaction term considering main reason for visit (main presenting complaint) has been included. Lines refer to predict

Figure 3. Results from 2 multivariable mixed effect logistic regression models predicting probability of topical antimicrobial 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 both species, an interaction term considering main reason for visit (main presenting complaint) has been included. Lines refer to predicted probability; shading relates to 95% CIs for such predictions. Points 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 topical antimicrobial was prescribed, according to the dataset analyzed.
