Adjusted odds ratios of prognosis associated with the condition at dantrolene administration.
| Explanatory variables | Odds ratio | 95% CI | value |
| Temperature at dantrolene administration (°C) | 0.04 | 0.0009-0.57 | 0.04 | Maximum body temperature (°C) | 4.22 | 0.43-54.3 | 0.21 | Interval from first MH sign to dantrolene administration (min) | 0.96 | 0.92-0.99 | 0.04 | Anesthetic induction to first MH sign (min) | 1.01 | 0.99-1.02 | 0.46 |
