Effect of admission delay on clinical outcomes adjusted for disease classification and transfer status
| Outcome | Effect of admission delay | P value | Effect of disease classification∗ | P value | Effect of transfer | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mortality | 2.9 (1.0, 8.3) | .05 | 3.4 (1.6, 7.1) | .001 | 0.64 (0.2, 1.9) | .44 |
| Bacteremia | 3.7 (1.2, 11.2) | .02 | 6.6 (2.9, 15.1) | <.0001 | 11 (0.4, 3.4) | .843 |
| ICU admission | 3.3 (1.1, 9.8) | .03 | 5.8 (2.4, 13.9) | <.0001 | 0.9 (0.3, 2.9) | .85 |
| Length of stay | 6.9 (-3.8, 17.7) | .20 | 11.7 (6.1, 17.2) | <.0001 | -0.3 (-9.7, 9.2) | .96 |
For length of stay outcome, beta coefficient (95% CI) is reported, all other outcomes are reported as OR (95% CI). Only survivors are included in the analysis for length of hospital stay. Bold values are statistically significant.
∗
The reference category was Overlap and TEN for the reporting of OR or Beta coefficient.
