Table 4 Multivariable regression analysis for association of spinal injuries with demographical and clinical parameters.
| Parameter | Odds ratio | 95% confidence interval | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gender (male vs female)* | 1.5231 | 0.8431–1.2521 | 0.0012 |
| Age (≥65 years vs <65 years)* | 1.8241 | 0.7412–1.3542 | 0.0452 |
| Thoracic injuries (yes vs no)* | 1.4451 | 0.6581–1.4511 | 0.0004 |
| Time from traumatic injuries before admission to the Emergency Department (>3 h vs ≤3 h)* | 1.3621 | 0.8921–1.1521 | 0.0425 |
| Cause of traumatic injuries (Motor vehicle accident(s) vs falls or stuck with object(s))* | 1.4211 | 0.8241–1.2541 | 0.0412 |
| Falls (>3 m vs ≤3 m)* | 1.0151 | 0.9152–1.1211 | 0.0481 |
| Abbreviated Injury Scale score (≥2 vs <2)* | 1.5212 | 0.8421–1.3214 | 0.0391 |
| Eppendorf-Cologne Scale score (≥2 vs <2)* | 1.6211 | 0.7412–1.4121 | 0.0412 |
| Systolic blood pressure (lower vs normal)* | 1.2114 | 0.9421–1.2141 | 0.0481 |
| Diastolic blood pressure (lower vs normal)* | 1.4511 | 0.9541–1.1481 | 0.0412 |
| Heart rate (lower vs normal)* | 1.1214 | 0.9654–1.2141 | 0.0482 |
| Consciousness (yes vs no) | 0.8521 | 0.7411–0.9541 | 0.0621 |
| An odds ratio of more than 1 and a value less than 0.05 was considered significant. * Significant parameter for spinal injuries. | |||
