Thank you all for your help!

Just for clarification, if I do what Maarten suggested I know whether a model improved in fit when the previously added variable turns out to be significant in the Wald test that I conduct after estimating the logistic regression. But I do not know how much the model fit improved, right?  

Cheers,

Dirk
