Logistic regression: predictors of surgical evacuation.
| Predictors of surgery | Odds ratio (95% C.I.) | P-value | Odds ratio (95% C.I.) adjusted for propensity score | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age | 0.97 | 0.007 | 0.98 | 0.208 |
| (0.95, 0.99) | (0.95, 1.01) | |||
| Focal neurologic deficit | 4.89 | < 0.001 | 2.98 | 0.266 |
| (2.57, 9.30) | (0.44, 20.47) | |||
| Diameter > 10 mm | 4.18 | < 0.001 | 2.84 | 0.190 |
| (2.05, 8.54) | (0.60, 13.58) | |||
| Midline shift > 5 mm | 10.82 | < 0.001 | 4.81 | 0.292 |
| (5.55,21.11) | (0.26, 89.26) | |||
| Subdural acuity | 3.30 | 0.001 | 1.54 | 0.241 |
| (Reference: acute) | (1.63,6.70) | (0.75, 3.19) | ||
Note: The left column shows odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (C.I.) for covariables that proved statistically significant and the admission Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score; these variables were used to create the propensity score for surgical evacuation. The right column shows results after adjustment for the propensity score.
