Table 5. Association between Transport Time (hours) from Scene to Study Centers (Including Transfers) and Discharge Outcomes in 366* Children with Traumatic Brain Injury.

Direct Transfer from Scene (n = 87) Indirect Transfer (n = 249)
Poor PCPC** Poor POPC*** Poor PCPC** Poor POPC***
Variable aOR (95% CI) aOR (95% CI) aOR (95% CI) aOR (95% CI)
Transport time from scene to study hospitals (hours) 1.10 (1.04, 1.18) 1.10 (1.04, 1.18) 0.95 (0.86, 1.04) 0.95 (0.88, 1.03)

* Among 366 study sample, 27 patients had missing transport time, and 3 patients had unknown direct transfer status. Risk estimates are adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of transport time for PCPC and POPC, and adjusted for age, gender, maximum head Abbreviated Injury Score (AIS), maximum non-head AIS and Glasgow Coma Scale score motor

**Dichotomous PCPC (favorable outcome = normal, mild-moderate disability vs. poor outcome = severe-vegetative and death)

***Dichotomous POPC (favorable outcome = good-moderate overall performance vs. poor outcome = severe-vegetative state and death)
