Nurse Detection of Moderate to Severe Pain (NRS ≥ 4) as Individual Predictors of Treatment in Separate Logistic Regression Models

Predictor Outcome: Medication administration
Opioids
Benzodiazepines
Inhaled Bronchodilators
OR 95% CI P Value OR 95% CI P Value OR 95% CI P Value
 Nurse-detected moderate to severe pain 2.70 1.10–6.60 0.03 0.69 0.24–2.00 0.50 0.96 0.40–2.32 0.93
   
Predictor Outcome: Respiratory Support Administration
Supplemental Oxygen
Ventilator Adjustment
Device Change
OR 95% CI P Value OR 95% CI P Value OR 95% CI P Value
 Nurse-detected moderate to severe pain 3.11 0.65–15.03 0.16 0.67 0.19–2.35 0.53 1.32 0.50–3.51 0.57

Definition of abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; NRS = numerical rating scale; OR = odds ratio.

Note: n = 137 for all models except those testing oxygen increase (n = 110) and ventilator adjustment (n = 73), because only a subset of patients remained on the same respiratory device or ventilator respectively throughout the shift. Bold indicates statistically significant effects.
