Table 2.

Regression coefficients, odds ratios and risk scores for predictors of adverse psychological outcome

Predictors Regression coefficient Odds ratio 95% CI Risk score = Regression coefficient × 25
Pre-existing diseases (CCI >3) 2.02 7.52 2.01 to 28.1 50.5
Parent to children <18 years 1.26 3.51 1.39 to 8.89 31.5
Previous psychological problems 1.14 3.13 1.12 to 8.76 28.5
In-ICU agitation 0.8 2.23 -0.80 to 6.22 20
Unemployed/sick-leave at ICU admission 0.48 1.62 -0.54 to 4.88 12
Appeared depressed in ICU 0.30 1.35 -0.55 to 3.31 7.5

In order to make risk scores in the predictive screening instrument easier to compute the coefficients have been multiplied by 25 and named "risk score". CCI, Charlson Co-morbidity Index; CI, Confidence interval; ICU, Intensive care unit
