Risk factors for persistent health problems for control and post-parvo dogs. Effects of 6 explanatory variables on the probability that the dogs have signs in the 6 organ systems at the time of follow up. The 6 explanatory variables are as follows: (a) parvovirus infection history (Control, Post-parvo), (b) organ system (Ear, GI, Orthopedic, Respiratory, Skin, Urinary), (c) time of follow up with owners (days), (d) purebred (Mixed, Purebred), (e) medical history (No, Yes), and (f) lifestyle (Outdoor, Indoor and Outdoor, Indoor). The sample size included 52 control dogs and 86 post-parvo dogs (total of 138 dogs). The y-axis shows the probability that the dogs will develop signs in the 6 organ systems at the time of follow up. Shown are the estimated marginal means (EMMs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). To facilitate interpretation, the continuous variables are shown on the x-axis in their original units rather than in units of standard deviation
