  1. The table presents the length of stay in days for patients with systemic sclerosis with and without ILD. The table contains both the unadjusted and adjusted odds of LOS by ILD status. The unadjusted data includes the raw results and direct relationship between variables without control for confounding factors. The adjusted data is statistically modified to control for possible confounding factors including age, sex, race, ect. A p value < 0.05 indicates a significant difference between LOS by the respective demographic factor
