Multiple Logistic Regression Model for Number of RBC Transfusions and the Subsequent Development of Delirium in Transfused Patients
| Predictor Variables | OR (95% CI) | p-value |
|---|---|---|
| Number of RBC transfusions | 1.27 (1.04–1.56) | 0.018 |
| Age (> 13 years as reference) | ||
| < 1 year of age | 1.47 (0.49–4.38) | 0.478 |
| 1–3 years of age | 0.96 (0.27–3.37) | 0.608 |
| 3–6 years of age | 1.52 (0.47–4.86) | 0.470 |
| 6–12 years of age | 1.06 (0.31–3.60) | 0.777 |
| Gender (male as reference) | 1.71 (0.81–3.61) | 0.163 |
| PICU LOS (days) | 1.01 (0.98–1.05) | 0.458 |
| Probability of mortality | 7.57 (0.52–110.31) | 0.139 |
Probability of mortality was determined by the Pediatric Index of Mortality-3 score.
