Variable	level	Adjusted odds ratio	95 % CI	P value
Model 1: Adjusted for haematological parameters only
Haemoglobin × g/dl	1 g/dl increase	0.848	0.689–1.014	0.121
Aneamia	Yes/no	3.20	1.262–7.098	0.001
Model 2: Haematological changes adjusted for confounding patient characteristics
Respiratory distress	Yes/no	20.950	4.268–103.082	<0.001
