Adjusted regression models predicting caregiver peritraumatic distress (Peritraumatic Distress Inventory scores) and dissociation (Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaire scores)

Predictor Linear Regression Outcome: PDI Scores
Logistic Regression Outcome: Higher PDEQ Scores (above Median)
b-Value SE P Value aOR 95% CI P Value

Patient of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity (vs. other) 2.02 2.01 0.32 1.65 0.50 to 5.47 0.41
Patient symptom burden (caregiver rated) 1.72 0.39 <0.001 1.17 0.93 to 1.48 0.18
Patient able to communicate (vs. unable) −0.57 1.79 0.75 0.60 0.21 to 1.74 0.35
Patient using mechanical ventilation (vs. not using) 1.38 1.90 0.47 0.73 0.24 to 2.26 0.58
Patient died in ICU within 1 mo (vs. did not) −0.67 1.65 0.68 0.90 0.34 to 2.37 0.83
ICU length of stay (in d) 0.18 0.12 0.12 1.04 0.97 to 1.11 0.31

Definition of abbreviations: aOR = adjusted odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; ICU = intensive care unit; PDEQ = Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaire; PDI = Peritraumatic Distress Inventory; SE = standard error.

Models included patient age, symptom burden, and ICU length of stay as continuous variables and other factors as binary variables. b-value is the unstandardized regression coefficient. Bold values indicate statistically significant, P < 0.05.
