Even when controlling for multiple disease states and physiologic variables and removing from the analysis all patients with significant prior weight loss, a body mass index below the 15th percentile remained a significant and independent predictor of mortality.
A healthy state exhibits some degree of stochastic variability and complexity in physiologic variables, such as temperature.
Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the relations between physiologic variables, EEG findings, delirium and mortality.
Cardiac function is extremely variable in the setting of critical illness and depends on multiple physiologic determinants [ 3].
These assumptions are that the various physiologic variables included in the model are independent and that the joint effect of multiple variables that affect risk can be represented by the product of the individual variables.
Because of previous literature correlating patient outcomes with physiological goals [ 10] and recommendations that certain levels of physiologic variables be targeted [ 3], we examined the relationship between measured six-hour physiologic variables and outcomes.
Progesterone appears to affect multiple physiologic processes that follow an acute injury.
Few significant intercorrelations were demonstrated among the physiologic variables.
In conclusion, there are multiple physiologic alterations associated with asthma that may promote GER.
Polysomnography is comprised of specialized recordings during sleep designed to recognize and record multiple physiologic parameters.
