CI, Confidence interval; ICU, intensive care unit; MI, myocardial infarction; OR, odds ratio, PRBC, packed red blood cells.
a
Data are presented as median (interquartile range) for continuous variables and as number (%) for categoric variables.
b
Odds ratios were adjusted for covariates selected by stepwise logistic regression (intraoperative PRBC transfusion was adjusted for sex; length of stay was adjusted for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
c
Denotes totals for stage 1 + stage 2 procedures.
d
Denotes whether patients remained intubated at the conclusion of either the stage 1 or stage 2 procedure.
e
Denotes condition present at discharge.
