With the exception of education, these risk estimates changed little following individual adjustment for other covariates and in the multivariable model controlling simultaneously for all covariates except education.
In a multivariable model controlling for some potential confounders, including illness severity, hyperoxia had an odds ratio for hospital death of 1.2 (95% CI, 1.1 to 1.6).
This association persisted in a multivariable model controlling multiple prognostic factors, including the presence and sites of extrathoracic disease (HR 1.24; P=0.01.24
Finally, in a multivariable model, controlling for age and gender, neither vision nor depression made a statistically significant contribution to EASY-Care independence scores, whether assessed by CHW-administered COPE, or clinician judgment (Table 6).
* Somers DD, used for logistic procedure; multivariable model controlling for age and FEV1 Female patients with CF have been shown to have much shorter life expectancies than males with CF, with a median decrease of 4 years until the age of 20 [ 14, 44].
The multivariable models controlled for age (continuous) sex, history of hypertension, smoking ever, never) body mass index, alcohol consumption, serum total cholesterol level and family history of severe headache.
Initial multivariable models controlled for age and race.
To determine whether waiting times explained associations of age and ethnic groups, region of residence and deprivation quintile with excess mortality, the EHRs from multivariable models (controlled for all other covariables) were compared with models without waiting times.
The multivariable models controlled for age (continuous), sex, history of hypertension (yes, no), smoking (ever, never), body mass index (<25, 25 to 29, ≥30 weight (kg)/(height (m)), alcohol consumption (0, 1-19, 20-39, ≥40 g/day), serum total cholesterol level (continuous), and family history of severe headache (yes, no).
