|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin D (ng/ml) | −0.042 | 0.018* | −0.076, −0.007 |
| Race (ref: White) | 0.059 | 0.913 | −1.008, 1.126 |
| Gender (ref: male) | 1.966 | 0.007* | 0.561, 3.371 |

| % TBSA | 0.022 | 0.722 | −0.102, 0.147 |
| Day since injury | −0.011 | <0.001 | −0.013, −0.009 |
CI, confidence interval. Repeated-measures linear regression models Vitamin D adjusted for time, race, sex, income, education, and days since injury were performed. This analysis included 75 patients, as 2 patients did not report covariates.
