Table 3.
Adjusted odds of clinical deterioration outcomes within six hours of receiving an opioid or benzodiazepine*. Odds ratios reflect the change in odds associated with the equivalent of 15 mg oral morphine or 1 mg oral lorazepam.
| Outcome | Opioids | Benzodiazepines | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OR (95% CI) | p-value | OR (95% CI) | p-value | |
| Composite | 1.019 (1.013 – 1.026) | < 0.001 | 1.29 (1.16–1.45) | < 0.001 |
| ICU Transfer | 1.019 (1.013–1.026) | < 0.001 | 1.29 (1.14–1.43) | < 0.001 |
| Ward Cardiac Arrest | 1.020 (0.985–1.057) | 0.26 | 2.36 (1.43–3.90) | 0.001 |

Adjustment includes patient characteristics, ward unit, surgical status, prior ICU admission, 24-hour cumulative opioid/benzodiazepine dose, and eCART score
