- CI = confidence interval; DD ESRD = dialysis dependent end stage renal disease; ED = emergency department; EGDT - early goal directed therapy; RR = respiratory rate; SBP = systolic blood pressure; SOFA = sequential organ failure assessment.
- * Patients in the pre-implementation group did not receive EGDT and those in the post-implementation group did receive EGDT.
- ** Refers to patient reported diagnosis established previous to index hospitalization.
- *** Refers to patients who received systemic corticosteroids during the index hospitalization.
- † Dependent variable: one-year mortality.
