Table 2.

Unadjusted and adjusted mortality comparing children transported following prolonged stabilisation from the PCCT (≥2 interventions conducted by the PCCT) versus short stabilisation (< 2 interventions performed by PCCT). Adjusted probabilities are estimated whilst holding other covariates at their average value

^aAdjustments made for: age; PIM2 score; diagnosis of the child; whether the child was ventilated at the time of referral; whether the child was receiving critical care and the time taken to reach the bedside. Cluster term included for the PCCT
