The vasoactive therapy propensity score analysis results for inhospital mortality in different service types
| MICU, OR (95% CI) | SICU, OR (95% CI) | CCU, OR (95% CI) | CSRU, OR (95% CI) | |
| Fluid resuscitation | 1.02 (0.62 to 1.69) | 0.64 (0.30 to 1.37) | 0.52 (0.17 to 1.61) | 2.14 (0.84 to 5.46) |
| Use of vasoactive agents | 2.90* (1.82 to 4.61) | 4.53* (2.46 to 8.34) | 3.20* (1.58 to 6.48) | 0.71 (0.27 to 1.89) |
| Propensity for vasoactive therapy | 70.20* (17.86 to 275.94) | 147.57* (19.39 to 1122.96) | 186.24* (24.41 to 1420.79) | 0.00* (0.00 to 0.43) |
| Number of subjects | 692 | 535 | 379 | 726 |
| AUC | 0.729 | 0.751 | 0.791 | 0.645 |
| Hosmer–Lemeshow p value | 0.29 | 0.02 | 0.33 | 0.37 |
Each column represents a separate regression model for a specific service type. The propensity for vasoactive therapy was calculated by the models shown in the table above.
↵* Statistically significant.
AUC, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; CCU, coronary care unit; CSRU, cardiac surgery recovery unit; MICU, medical intensive care unit; SICU, surgical intensive care unit.
