TIAE: tracheal intubation associated events

Total N= 3841

Overall p<0.0001, Pseudo-R2= 0.0732

A multivariable regression model for Severe TIAE included covariates associated with occurrence of severe TIAE (age, diagnosis, indication for respiratory failure, shock, procedural, loss of airway protection, and symptom of upper airway obstruction) and PIM2 score. The association with occurrence of severe TIAE in univariate analysis with p=<0.1 was used for inclusion criteria for multivariable logistic regression model.

Patients may have more than one indication for tracheal intubation
