Value of Chest Radiographic Pattern in RSV Disease of the Newborn: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study
Figure 3
Odds ratios (ORs) for risk factors associated with disease severity in newborns with respiratory syncytial virus hospitalized in neonatal intensive care. According to multiple logistic regression analyses, the independent significant risk factors associated with disease severity, that is length of stay in NICU (≤7 versus >7 days), requirement of oxygen, respiratory support and invasive ventilation are those with a value of <0.05. The reference category for gender is male, for prematurity (<34 and 34–36+6 weeks) is term (≥37 weeks) and for consolidation pattern is hyperinflation. NS indicates not significant.
