Associations between duration of ICU delirium and outcomes
| Multivariable Regression Results |
|||
|---|---|---|---|
| Outcomea | Point Estimateb | 95% Confidence Interval | p-value |
| Katz ADL score | Non-linear c | 0.002 | |
| FAQ Score | 1.4 | 0.9 to 2.1 | 0.15 |
| SF-36 PCS Score | −0.7 | −3.2 to 1.8 | 0.58 |
| Motor/Sensory Factors Score |
−0.6 | −1.1 to −0.1 | 0.018 |
Delirium duration is dependent variable in each model. All outcomes were evaluated as continuous measures.
Point Estimate indicates the odds ratio for proportional odds models (Katz ADL and FAQ) or the β-coefficient for mixed effects models (Awareness Questionnaire and SF-36) for outcome after adjusting for covariates over the course of the 12-month follow-up period from the 25th percentile to the 75th percentile.
Because the association is non-linear, the magnitude of the association cannot be summarized using a single odds ratio, therefore the association is graphed in Figure 2A.
