Unexpected versus all-cause mortality as the endpoint for investigating the effects of a Rapid Response System in hospitalized patients

Table 2 Comparison of effect of RRT on all-cause in-hospital mortality vs death without LOMT in hospitalized patients

	Uncorrected OR	95 % CI of uncorrected OR	Corrected OR	95 % CI of corrected OR	P value for corrected OR
Deaths, n/1000 (95 % CI)	0.865	0.768-0.975	0.802	0.644-1.0	0.05
Death without LOMT, n/1000 (95 % CI)	0.557	0.397-0.782	0.549	0.385-0.784	0.001

Odds ratios (OR) represent differences between final rapid response team (RRT) phase vs the before-phase. Corrected ORs are adjusted for sex, age, hospital, and urgency of admissions. Number of admissions in the before-period = 26,659; number of admissions in the RRT period = 27,820. LOMT limitation of medical treatment
