Table 3 Impact of patient characteristics on patient disposition immediately following a rescue event. Odds ratios were calculated for death and transfers to higher levels of care, controlling for age, sex, relationship and surgical status. Ratios are shown along with confidence intervals and p values. Only the five MDC-DRGs with the highest odds ratios are shown
