Logistic regression model to predict mortality among patients with aluminium phosphide poisoning (N = 116)
| Predictor | Regression coefficient | SE | OR (95% CI) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heart rate | −0.009 | 0.050 | 0.991 (0.899–1.093) | 0.860 |
| SBP | −0.080 | 0.037 | 0.923 (0.859–0.992) | 0.029 |
| Glasgow coma score | −0.586 | 0.454 | 0.557 (0.229–1.355) | 0.197 |
| Blood glucose level* | 0.012 | 0.009 | 1.012 (0.994–1.031) | 0.187 |
| Blood glucose alterations† | 2.036 | 1.544 | 7.662 (0.372–157.919) | 0.187 |
| Serum creatinine level | 0.293 | 0.594 | 1.340 (0.418–4.294) | 0.623 |
| TLC | 0.000 | 0.000 | 1.000 (1.000–1.000) | 0.913 |
| ABG pH | −1.760 | 3.620 | 0.172 (0.000–207.369) | 0.627 |
| ABG HCO3 | −0.045 | 0.135 | 0.956 (0.734–1.246) | 0.741 |
| Duration of LOS | −0.094 | 0.035 | 0.910 (0.850–0.976) | 0.008 |
SE = standard error; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; SBP = systolic blood pressure; TLC = total leukocyte count; ABG = arterial blood gas; HCO3 = bicarbonate; LOS = length of stay.
*
Assessed via random blood glucose tests.
†
Defined as either hyperglycaemia (random blood glucose levels of >200 mg/dL) or hypoglycaemia (random blood glucose levels of <55 mg/dL).
