The term multivariable analysis is often mistaken for multivariate analysis in medical and health sciences research. Multivariate analysis refers to the analysis of multiple outcomes whereas multivariable analysis deals with only one outcome each time. That is, whether a regression analysis is multivariate depends on the number of outcomes, not the number of independent variables. Katz, as is obvious from the book title, focuses on multivariable, not multivariate, analysis.
