TABLE 7.
Binomial Regression Analysis Examining the Risk of a Poor Outcome* Among Surviving Children Who Were Admitted to a PICU With a TBI After Adjustment for All Other Covariates
Unadjusted RR | 95% CI | Adjusted RR | 95% CI | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Inflicted vs noninflicted TBI | 1.5 | 1.2–1.9 | 1.2 | 0.6–2.6 |
Seizures (yes) | 1.9 | 1.4–2.7 | 3.0 | 1.4–6.3 |
Loss of consciousness | 2.1 | 1.1–4.0 | 1.9 | 1.3–2.9 |
Good outcome was defined as POPC score of 1 or 2; poor outcome was defined as a score of 3, 4, or 5. Seizures and loss of consciousness were the only covariates included in this model because no other covariates changed the effect estimate for injury type (inflicted vs noninflicted) by 10% or greater.
