Multivariate analysis of risk factors for developing pneumothorax

ORSE95% CIP value
Gestational age (wk)0.780.170.51 to 1.190.26
C/D defect type0.921.50.04 to 22.70.95
Liver up position0.410.690.01 to 11.40.60
Mean airway pressure1.650.381.05 to 2.590.03
PEEP (cmH2O)1.770.371.2 to 2.680.007
  • P-value ≤0.05 is considered statistically significant. Likelihood Ratio χ2=−29.3, n=61 observations, p=0.015.

  • CI, Confidence interval; OR, Odds ratio; PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure; SE, Standard error.
