RR, relative risk; CI, confidence interval.

Odds of receiving an intracranial pressure monitor if ≤1 yr compared with 1–2 yrs of age, controlling for if ever received cardiopulmonary resuscitation, race, and Glasgow Coma Score of ≥8, is 0.2 (95% CI, 0.1– 0.6). Adding inflicted injury into the model does not change the estimate by ≥10%.
