Does ICU admission dysphagia independently contribute to delirium risk in ischemic stroke patients? Results from a cohort study

Table 2 Logistic regression: association between dysphagia and primary/secondary study outcomes

	Without dysphagia	Dysphagia	P-value	E-value (lower limit of the 95% CIs)
	Without dysphagia	ORs (95% CIs)	P-value	E-value (lower limit of the 95% CIs)
Delirium^●
Unadjusted Adjusted	Reference Reference	2.24 (1.70, 2.96) 1.48 (1.07, 2.05)	< 0.001* 0.018*	Not applicable 1.73 (1.22)
Aspiration pneumonia^&
Unadjusted Adjusted	Reference Reference	2.84 (1.89, 4.20) 2.39 (1.56, 3.61)	< 0.001* < 0.001*	Not applicable 4.21 (2.49)
Urinary tract infection^&
Unadjusted Adjusted	Reference Reference	1.71 (1.28, 2.29) 1.37 (0.97, 1.91)	< 0.001* 0.071	Not applicable Not applicable
Pressure injury^$
Unadjusted Adjusted	Reference Reference	2.34 (1.64, 3.31) 1.69 (1.13, 2.50)	< 0.001* 0.009*	Not applicable 2.77 (1.51)

Abbreviations: ORs: Odds Ratios; CIs: Confidence Intervals
Note: Logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs)
*Significant difference between patients with dysphagia and without dysphagia (p < 0.05)
^●Delirium was adjusted for age, sex, race, dementia, depression, sedatives, history of falls, visual or hearing deficit, SOFA and GCS
^&Aspiration pneumonia and urinary tract infection were adjusted for age, sex, race, GCS and SOFA
^$Pressure Injury was adjusted for age, sex, race, GCS, SOFA and Braden score
