Abstract/Description
Numerous predictors affect clinical outcomes for patients with physical trauma. Logistic regression is one of the widely used methods to analyze relationships between a set of predictors with a binary outcome variable. In this study, we built a logistic regression model for a binary outcome variable, Hospital Discharge Status (HDS). Predictors included in this analysis are arrival time, age, trauma level, injury severity score, arrival heart rate, arrival blood pressure, length of hospital stay, time from injury to arrival at the BC, patient transfer or direct admittance, mode of transfer, time from injury to the referral hospital, distance from injury to tertiary facility, the season, and injury severity score as a categorical variable. The goal of this retrospective observational study is to assess the association between the predictors and HDS in order to evaluate the odds of survival corresponding to the predictor.
