Table 2. Cox Regression Analysis: Independent Predictors of Subject Age at Reaching Full Enteral Feeds and Time from Abdominal Wall Closure to Full Enteral Feeds.
| Age at Full Enteral Feeds | Time From Closure to Full Enteral Feeds | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable | HR (95%CI) | P-Value | HR (95%CI) | P-Value |
| Transport Time (per 60 minute increase) | 1.07 (0.98, 1.17) | 0.15 | 1.06 (0.87, 1.31) | 0.15 |
| Stabilization Time (per 60 minute increase) | 1.11 (0.90, 1.36) | 0.32 | 1.07 (0.98,1.16) | 0.55 |
| Closure Time (per 12 hour increase) | 0.95 (0.92, 0.98) | 0.005 | 0.96 (0.93, 1.00) | 0.03 |
| Prenatal GI Complication (Yes vs. No) | 0.17 (0.07, 0.44) | 0.002 | 0.19 (0.08,0.48) | 0.0005 |
| Postnatal GI Complication (Yes vs. No) | 0.16 (0.078, 0.32) | <0.0001 | 0.17 (0.86, 0.35) | <0.0001 |
| Amniotic Fluid Character (vs. Clear) | ||||
| Bloody | 0.23 (0.08, 0.72) | 0.01 | 0.24 (0.08, 0.75) | 0.0005 |
| Meconium-Stained | 0.41 (0.24, 0.71) | 0.002 | 0.41 (0.24, 0.71) | 0.001 |
| Maternal Complications (Yes vs. No) | 2.30 (1.27, 4.18) | 0.006 | 2.21 (1.22, 3.98) | 0.01 |
HR: Hazard ratio, larger ratio indicated higher likelihood of younger age at or time from abdominal wall closure to full enteral feeds. CI: Confidence interval. GI: Gastrointestinal
