Multivariable logistic regression models for factors associated with persistent tube feeds at end of follow-up

Variables	Odds ratio (95% confidence interval)	P-value	c-statistic/area under ROC
Single ventricle cardiac disease	OR 0.38 (0.20–0.75)	p = 0.005	0.7704
Blalock–Thomas–Taussig Shunt	OR 5.0 (1.6–15.2)	p = 0.005
Coarctation of Aorta repair/arch repair	OR 0.20 (0.085–0.45)	p < 0.0005
LVAD (left ventricular assist device)	OR 6.2 (1.3–29.2)	p = 0.021
Genetic Syndrome	OR 3.6 (1.5–8.2)	p = 0.003

Bold values denote statistical significance at the p < 0.05

Multivariable logistic regression models associated with feeding tube need. A stepwise procedure was used for multivariable model construction, with a P-value of < 0.15 (on univariable analysis) to enter the model and a P-value of 0.05 to remain in the model
