| Initial vital signs | Unadjusted | Adjusted | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Heart rate | 1.01 (0.99−1.02) | 0.338 | 0.98 (0.96−1.01) | 0.250 |
| Respiratory rate | 1.15 (1.04−1.26) | 0.005 | 1.15 (1.01−1.29) | 0.029 |
| SpO2 | 1.02 (0.96−1.07) | 0.589 | 1.07 (0.89−1.29) | 0.488 |
| Body temperature | 1.15 (0.92−1.44) | 0.233 | 1.20 (0.64−2.26) | 0.573 |
| Glasgow Coma Scale | 0.51 (0.25−1.06) | 0.072 | 0.46 (0.11−1.87) | 0.274 |
a
Adjusted odds ratio for deterioration versus control groups, with adjustment for confounders: systolic blood pressure (mmHg), heart rate (b.p.m.), respiratory rate (breaths/min), SpO2 (%), body temperature (°C), and Glasgow Coma Scale score.
CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio; SpO2, pulse oximetry oxygen saturation.
