Nurse Detection of Moderate to Severe Dyspnea (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 dyspnea	0.72	0.35–1.46	0.36	0.70	0.28–1.74	0.44	1.55	0.73–3.29	0.26

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 dyspnea	0.30	0.03–2.57	0.27	0.69	0.23–2.06	0.50	0.80	0.32–1.99	0.63

For definition of abbreviations, see Table 4.

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.
