Table 4 Comparison of incidence rate and incidence rate ratio before and after introduction of the intensivist system.
| Pre-introduction (2012–2015) | Post-introduction (2016–2020) | P-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual incidence rate of BD donor, median (SE) | 11.41 (4.82) | 13.90 (5.24) | 0.743 |
| Annual incidence rate of PBD donor, median (SE) | 27.53 (3.97) | 48.11 (6.72) | 0.044 |
| Annual incidence rate ratio of BD donor (95% CI) | 0.546 (0.311–0.959) | 1.532 (1.112–2.111) | – |
| Annual incidence rate ratio of PBD donor (95% CI) | 0.964 (0.702–1.324) | 1.179 (1.007–1.380) | – |
| Annual incidence rate of donated organs, median (SE) | 22.03 (2.84) | 22.29 (6.24) | 0.976 |
| Annual incidence rate ratio of donated organs (95% CI) | 1.793 (1.019–3.158) | 2.108 (1.291–3.440) | – |
| Data was analyzed by test for annual IR and Poisson’s regression for annual IRR. Data presented as median (SE) or odds ratio (95% CI). ** Incidence presented as patients per 1000 discharges/year. *** Incidence presented as number of donated organ/10donor/year. BD – brain-dead; PBD – potential brain-dead; 95% CI – 95% confidence interval. | |||
