  1. * Calculated using logistic regression analysis. The odds ratio indicates the increased odds of in-hospital mortality for a one unit increase in each continuous exposure variable or for sepsis vs. non-sepsis for this binary exposure variable.
  2. ALI = acute lung injury; APACHE = Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation; CI = confidence interval; ICU = intensive care unit; LOS = length of stay; PEEP = positive end-expiratory pressure; SOFA = Sequential Organ Failure Assessment.
