Ishay,

Enter the covariates in a hierarchical order using multiple Method Enter lines.  On the first line, enter gender and age (I am assume that you have coded age as a continuous variable, otherwise enter the dummy codes that represent age categories).

Is there a way to adjust for...

I study a population of 900 hip fracture elderly. This type of patient has
extreme high mortality (10% at 30 days and 30% at 1 year). The strongest
predictors for death are age and gender. These two overshadow any other
possible predictor (like co-morbidity, complications etc).
Is there a way to adjust for these two predictors without the need of
stratifying the data according to age and gender?

I used the SPSS logistic regression were the dependent variable is
dead/alive and the rest are covariates. Method is Enter.

Thanks
