Logistic Models
| Logistic Model | Variable | Odds Ratio (95% Confidence Interval) |
|---|---|---|
| First | Age | 1.1 (0.9–1.3) |
| Antibiotics | 2.9 (0.7–11.4) | |
| Total intravenous fluid given during the first 4 days of illness | 6.1 (0.8–46.8) | |
| Total intravenous sodium given during the first 4 days of illness | 1.0 (0.97–1.0) | |
| Seconda | Antibiotics | 3.1 (0.8–11.9) |
| Total intravenous fluid given during the first 4 days of illness | 1.4 (1.0–2.0) | |
| Finalb | Total intravenous sodium given during the first 4 days of illness | 1.4 (1.0–1.9) |
a
Variables with P values of greater than .20 were eliminated from the first model. Also, the colinear variable of sodium given in the first 4 days of illness was taken out because it had less significance than volume given.
b
Variables with P values of greater than .05 were eliminated from the model. The final model has only volume given during the first 4 days.
