Variables were entered into the logistic regression model as covariates if they were associated (p≤0.1) with the primary outcome measure in univariate analysis. IV vs stepdown was also included in the model, to explore whether adjustment altered its relationship with 90-day any-cause death or readmission. N=264 cases had complete data for all variables and were included in both the adjusted and unadjusted analysis.
