	p value	Non-TL versus no procedures		Non-TL versus TL
		OR	95% CI	OR	95% CI
Female gender	0.0006	0.87	0.66, 1.14	1.40	1.04, 1.90
GCS ≥13	<0.0001	0.80	0.47, 1.36	2.00	1.22, 3.27
Age^a	0.048	0.99	0.91, 1.08	0.90	0.83, 0.99
Systolic blood pressure^a	0.004	1.03	0.98, 1.08	1.10	1.04, 1.16

TL therapeutic laparotomy/laparoscopy, GCS Glasgow Coma Scale, HR heart rate, bpm beats per minute

These continuous variables reflect 10 unit differences (10 year increase in age; 10 mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure, and 10 bpm increase in heart rate)
