Investigating the effects of frailty on six-month outcomes in older trauma patients admitted to UK major trauma centres: a multi-centre follow up study

Table 3 Factors associated with Health Related QoL (Eq. 5D VAS) at follow up

	Beta coefficient	95% Confidence Intervals	p-value
Frail CFS > 5 based on in-hospital score	-13.741	[-25.377, -2.105]	0.02
Age	-1.064	[-1.705, -0.423]	< 0.01
Sex (Female = ref)	-5.083	[-14.518, 4.351]	0.29
Number of comorbidities	-0.608	[-4.487, 3.272]	0.76
Mechanism of injury (Others = ref)
Fall < 2 m	3.237	[-12.402, 18.876]	0.68
Fall from ≥ 2 m	3.010	[-13.845, 19.865]	0.72
Critical care admission	1.304	[-13.260, 15.867]	0.86
Length of stay in Major Trauma Centre	0.182	[-0.242, 0.606]	0.40
Transfer to other care (Discharge to home = ref)	-12.017	[-23.232, -0.802]	0.04
Intercept	162.803	[118.403, 207.203]	< 0.01

R-squared = 0.194. Injury severity was removed from the final model due to missing data and a further analysis using maximum likelihood method: p = 0.392
