Multivariable logistic and linear regression analysis comparing length of hospital stay, transfusion rates and surgical wound infection rates after surgical exploration due to suspected testicular torsion
| Outcome of surgical exploration | Hospital stay | Transfusion | Surgical wound infection | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Days | Day difference | p-value | Events | OR | p-value | Events | OR | p-value | |
| No testicular torsion | 1 (1, 2) | – | – | 73 (0.2%) | – | – | 188 (0.5%) | – | – |
| Detorsion with preservation of testicle | 1 (1, 2) | −0.08 (−0.14, −0.02) | < 0.011 | 14 (< 0.1%) | 0.27 (0.15, 0.47) | < 0.001 | 96 (0.3%) | 0.67 (0.52, 0.85) | < 0.001 |
