Public versus Private Healthcare Systems following Discharge from the ICU: A Propensity Score-Matched Comparison of Outcomes

Table 2

Multivariate logistic regression of the factors associated with care in the public healthcare system: propensity score model.

Variable	OR	95% CI	value
Age, per year	0.96	0.95–0.97	<0.001
ICU admission APACHE-II, per point	1.02	0.99–1.05	0.05
Mechanical ventilation during ICU stay	1.47	1.00–2.16	0.04
ICU day of discharge SOFA, per point	1.19	1.08–1.32	<0.001
ICU day of discharge TISS-28, per point	0.96	0.92–1.00	0.05

Note. The following variables were entered into the model: age, number of comorbidities, ICU admission APACHE-II, mechanical ventilation during ICU stay, RRT during ICU stay, ICU day of discharge SOFA, and ICU day of discharge TISS-28.
OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; ICU: intensive care unit; APACHE-II: acute physiology and chronic health evaluation-II score; SOFA: sequential organ failure assessment score; TISS-28: simplified therapeutic intervention scoring system; RRT: renal replacement therapy.
