Odds ratios for significant predictors of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis adjusted for sepsis and PEEP.
| Predictors | Adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) | P value |
|---|---|---|
| BMI ≥ 40 (kg/m2) | 3.818 (0.947–15.401) | 0.060 |
| CHF | 4.321 (1.018–18.337) | 0.047 |
| Sepsis | 1.525 (0.599–3.881) | 0.376 |
| Duration of MV ≥ 13 days | 0.292 (0.105–0.816) | 0.019 |
| Average PEEP over 7 days (cm H2O) | 1.067 (0.916–1.243) | 0.408 |
BMI: body mass index, CHF: congestive heart failure, MV: mechanical ventilation, and PEEP: positive end-expiratory pressure.
