Although this resulted in a reduction in the median length of hospitalization from 9 days (IQR, 6–14) during the CT-paradigm to 7 days (IQR, 4–12) during the MRI-paradigm, the effect of the imaging paradigm did not reach statistical significance in the multivariable analysis (β coefficient, −0.27 [95% CI, −1.36 to 0.81]; P adj =0.62; Table 2 ).
