Expert-Performed Endotracheal Intubation-Related Complications in Trauma Patients: Incidence, Possible Risk Factors, and Outcomes in the Prehospital Setting and Emergency Department

Table 4

Logistic regression models of factors associated with survival in trauma patients who received ETI in the prehospital setting or ED.

	Univariable analysis			Multivariable analysis
	Crude OR (95% CI)	P value		AOR (95% CI)	P value
ETI-related adverse events	0.46 (0.31–0.69)	< 0.001		0.60 (0.38–0.95)	0.030
Age	0.98 (0.97–0.99)	< 0.001		0.98 (0.97–0.98)	< 0.001
Male	1.06 (0.73–1.55)	0.744		0.95 (0.61–1.47)	0.814
ISS	0.95 (0.94–0.97)	< 0.001		0.96 (0.95–0.97)	< 0.001
GCS	1.18 (1.13–1.23)	< 0.001		1.16 (1.10–1.21)	< 0.001
Off-hours presentation	0.87 (0.61–1.24)	0.439		0.74 (0.49–1.13)	0.160

ETI-related complications independently worsened the survival of trauma patients.
AOR: adjusted odds ratio, CI: confidence interval, ED: emergency department, ETI: endotracheal intubation, GCS: Glasgow Coma Scale Score, ISS: Injury Severity Score, OR: odds ratio.
Adjustment for all variables included in the table. Good fit was verified with the Hosmer–Lemeshow test (P = 0.161). The c statistic for the model was 0.784.
