Random-Effects Logistic Regression Model Showing Pairwise Associations between Statin, CRP, and Being Free of Delirium

  Statin: Free of Delirium Statin: CRP
  (n = 228; Person-Days = 1,246)
(n = 226; Person-Days = 1,123)
  OR 95% CI P Value β 95% CI P Value
Statin 2.28 1.01 to 5.13 <0.05 −0.52 −0.70 to −0.33 <0.01
Age, per yr 0.99 0.96 to 1.03 0.71 −0.00 −0.01 to 0.00 0.35
Sex, women vs. men 0.48 0.20 to 1.19 0.11 0.03 −0.19 to 0.24 0.81
mSOFA, per point 0.59 0.47 to 0.73 <0.01 0.13 0.09 to 0.18 <0.01
Sepsis, yes vs. no 1.53 0.62 to 3.76 0.36 0.29 0.07 to 0.51 0.01
Propensity score* 2.90 0.35 to 23.83 0.32 0.02 −0.49 to 0.53 0.94
Ventilated, yes vs. no 0.78 0.72 to 0.84 <0.01 −0.01 −0.03 to 0.00 0.14
Emergency vs. elective 12.81 3.05 to 53.82 <0.01 0.36 0.05 to 0.66 0.02

Definition of abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; CRP = C-reactive protein; mSOFA = modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (minus Glasgow Coma Score); OR = odds ratio.

β is the slope from linear regression.

CRP quantities log(e) transformed to obtain normal distribution. When used as a dependent variable, OR is per increase in standard deviation of log(e) CRP.

All models allow for random-effects for each individual.
