It's only a small step away from the wasteful, energy-intensive status quo, but taken together with everything else Calgary is doing, it's a substantial leap for a city whose name was long seen as a synonym for sprawl.
Characteristics, resource use, and outcomes of ARF patients stratified by gender and intensive care status are shown in Table 3.
The propensity score, that is the probability of being a female patient, was estimated by a logistic regression model conditional on the baseline covariates and intensive care status.
Table 3 compares the patient and hospital characteristics and hospital mortality by intensive care status for the six most common SSTIs in the ICU.
These children do not usually receive any further routine face-to-face health visitor contacts [ 39]. "Additional" and "Intensive" HPI status is assigned to children considered at higher developmental risk.
b Conventional multivariable logistic regression adjusting for age, surgical and selected comorbid conditions, Charlson Comorbidity index, hospital levels, principal diagnoses, number of acute organ dysfunction, and intensive care status.
Resource uses (including duration of MV and length of stays) were compared using multivariable linear regression models adjusting for the baseline covariates, with the inclusion of MV and intensive care status as additional covariates when appropriate.
Conversely, intensive care status was included as an additional covariate when modeling the gender effect on the provision of MV for all patients and that of different types of MV for ARF patients as well as on hospital mortality of ARF patients.
They dictate early treatment decisions and determine whether patients are admitted or discharged and, if admitted, what the appropriate initial level of care should be (ie, observation, telemetry, intensive care unit status).
Nonsusceptibility to ciprofloxacin was higher in younger patients, rose with time, and was not associated with intensive care unit status.
*Logistic regression models simultaneously controlled for geographic region, age categories, sex, intensive care unit status, year of specimen, and reporting system.
