Table 2 Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses on all patients, exploring differences in the use of invasive mechanical ventilation, invasive monitoring, vasoactive treatment, echocardiography, RRT and placement of central catheters, based on the sex of the patient. Data presented as odds ratio and 95% CI.

From: A cohort study investigating the occurrence of differences in care provided to men and women in an intensive care unit
