Table 3 Univariable generalized mixed model for fixed effects logit link function to assess the impact of baseline variables on the significant increase (responders) in brain tissue oxygenation (PbtO2) after positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) increments.

From: The effect of increased positive end expiratory pressure on brain tissue oxygenation and intracranial pressure in acute brain injury patients
