Assuming you have coded everything correctly, I would look at something called complete or quasi-complete separation. These conditions often lead to grossly inflated coefficients. Claudiu D. Tufis wrote: Hi, I have a multiple logistic regression. Among the predictors, I have 6

Something from Greenland and Rothman's book Modern Epidemiology (page 258) may apply here: there is a hallmark sysmptom of the bias that arises when stratification has exceeded the limits of the data: The exposure effect estimates begin to get further and further from the null as more variables
