  1. Odds ratio after adjustment for the following potential confounders: age, SAPS II, GCS score below 15, admission type, PaO2/FiO2 ratio at admission, and hospital. The equation of the eventual model is: Logit(p) = -7.060 + 0.090 × age (per 5 years) + 0.049 × SAPS II + 0.054 × I(GCS < 15) + 0.015 × I(admission type = urgent) + 0.161 × I(admission type = medical) + 0.004 × PaO2/FiO2 – 1.114 × I(hospital = 2) – 0.060 × I(hospital = 3) – 0.285 × I(hospital = 4) – 0.618 × I(hospital = 5) + 0.488 × mean FiO2 (per 10%) + 0.492 × I(mean PaO2 < 67) + 0.417 × I(67 ≤ PaO2 < 80) + 0.221 × I(80 ≤ PaO2 < 95) + 0.038 × I(PaO2 ≥ 123). Probability of in-hospital death = e(logit)/(1+e(logit)).
