Multivariable analysis of risk factors associated with PICU admissions
| Model 1 (N=110) |
Model 2 (N=84) |
|
|---|---|---|
| Race | ||
| - White | Ref. | Ref. |
| - Black/ African American | 2.96 (1.30-6.73), p=0.01 | 4.03 (1.25-12.98), p=0.02 |
| Sex | ||
| - Female | Ref. | Ref. |
| - Male | 0.97 (0.44-2.15), p=0.94 | 0.85 (0.27-2.66), p=0.78 |
| Age at first SAC visit | 0.93 (0.84-1.03), p=0.16 | 0.84 (0.73-0.98), p=0.027 |
| Pre-bronchodilator FEV1pp | --- | 0.96 (0.94-0.99), p=0.014 |
| Vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) | --- | 4.62 (1.06-20.1), p=0.041 |
| Total IgE (log10) | --- | 2.74 (1.05-7.16), p=0.039 |
| Total eosinophil counts (log10) | --- | 5.16 (1.19-7.16), p=0.028 |
Shown are adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). In model 2, 26 subjects had missing data for total IgE (n=10), eosinophil counts (n=11), or both (n=5).
