Propensity for performing interventions in pre-hospital trauma management – a comparison between physicians and non-physicians

Table 3 Adjusted probability for pre-hospital interventions

Intervention	Strength of association of PHAT presence to intervention (p)	OR for experiencing intervention if cared for by PHAT (Cl)	Fit of regression model (Nagelkerke R²)
Nasal airway	≥ 0.10	-	0.092
Oral airway	≥ 0.10	-	0.225
Endotracheal intubation	0.01	5.5 (1.5-19.7)	0.521
Neck-immobilisation	≥ 0.10	-	0.464
Spine board	≥ 0.10	-	0.405
Immobilisation of extremity	0.041	3.2 (1.0-9.8)	0.129
Crystalline fluids	≥ 0.10	-	0.115
Colloid fluids	≥ 0.10	-	0.576
Hypertonic solution	≥ 0.10	-	0.704

Probability is expressed as odds ratio (OR), normalised for confounding from age, sex, trauma severity, trauma mechanism, vital parameters and 30-day mortality. OR shown for associations p ≤ 0.10.
