  • Data are presented as OR with 95% CI and p values.

  • The multivariate model was controlled for confounders, including age, gender, injury severity, and Glasgow Coma Scale scores.

  • ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome; CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation; CVA, cerebrovascular accident; DVT, deep venous thrombosis; SSI, surgical site infection.
