Multiple Logistic Regression Model of Dose of RBCs and the Subsequent Development of Delirium in Transfused Patients
| Predictor Variables | OR (95% CI) | p-value |
|---|---|---|
| Dose RBC transfusion | ||
| 5 mL/kg | 1.38 (1.07–1.78) | 0.014 |
| 10 mL/kg | 1.90 (1.14–3.17) | 0.014 |
| 15 mL/kg | 2.61 (1.21–5.63) | 0.014 |
| Age (> 13 years as reference) | ||
| < 1 year of age | 1.87 (0.47–7.47) | 0.940 |
| 1–3 years of age | 1.54 (0.33–7.14) | 0.612 |
| 3–6 years of age | 3.68 (0.83–16.32) | 0.112 |
| 6–12 years of age | 2.45 (0.55–10.93) | 0.552 |
| Gender (male as reference) | 1.38 (0.60–3.17) | 0.456 |
| PICU LOS (days) | 0.99 (0.97–1.02) | 0.501 |
| Probability of mortality | 1.22 (0.08–19.24) | 0.889 |
Probability of mortality was determined by the Pediatric Index of Mortality-3 score.
