Table 3 Logistic regression results for VLBW maternal transports*

Variable	B	Standard error	Significance	Odds Ratio	Lower bound of 95% CI	Upper bound of 95% CI
Intercept	-1.68	.24	< .001
TM (telemedical site availability)	.98	.35	.005	[given low hospital resources] 2.66 [given high hospital resources] (.55)	1.34 (.39)	5.30 (.79)
Ob2 (level II hospital)	.81	.38	.032	[given low telemedical access] 2.25 [given high telemedical access] (.47)	1.07 (.24)	4.71 (.89)
TM*Ob2	-1.57	.50	.002
Teen mother	.84	.39	.032	2.31	1.07	4.98
Hispanic mother	-1.44	.76	.057	.24	.05	1.05

* Because of the interaction, the OR's for TM and Ob2 depend upon the value of the other variable. The estimates not in parentheses represent the estimate of the OR for the given predictor with the value of the other variable at "0." The OR estimates in parentheses represent the estimate with the other variable at "1."
