Table 1 Dependent and independent variables for each regression model
From: Red cell transfusions as an independent risk for mortality in critically ill children
Dependent variable | Independent variables |
|---|---|
Transfusion (y/n) | Hemoglobin concentration <7Â g/dL, PIM2, PRISM III, day 1 PELOD, reason for PICU admission |
PICU LOS (days)a | Age at admission, gender, transfusion, vasoactive agents, PIM2, PRISM III, day 1 PELOD, reason for PICU admission |
Mortality (y/n) | Age at admissionc, gender, volume transfused (mL/kg), hemoglobin concentration, PIM2 score, PRISM III score, vasoactive agents, PIM2, PRISM III, day 1 PELOD, reason for PICU admission |
Mortality (y/n)b | Age at admissionc, gender, time of transfusion, vasoactive agents, PIM2, PRISM III, day 1 PELOD, reason for PICU admission |
