  1. Odds ratio after adjustment for the following potential confounders: age, SAPS II, GCS score below 15, admission type, individual hospital. The equation of the model is: Logit(p) = -5.419 + 0.059 × age (per 5 years) + 0.066 × SAPS II + 0.070 × I(GCS < 15) + 0.221 × I(admission type = urgent) + 0.453 × I(admission type = medical) + βhosp + 0.105 × FiO2 (per 10%) + 0.109 × I(PaO2 < 67) + 0.109 × I(80 ≤ PaO2 < 95) +0.079 × I(95 ≤ PaO2 < 123) +0.206 × I(PaO2 ≥ 123) Probability of in-hospital death = e(logit)/(1+e(logit)). Median βhos for individual hospitals was -0.12 (IQR -0.43 to 0.05).
