COMFORT-B scores for ventilated patients who were transferred to the pCICU (n = 154). The reference COMFORT-B score of 11–22 points indicates an adequate level of sedation while the patient is intubated. The patient was considered to be oversedated if the score was less than 11 points, with more than 22 points undersedated. OR: odds ratio, CI: Confidence interval.
