Odd ratio for one-year mortality and poor physical quality of life according to the different markers of iron deficiency. Squares indicate crude odd ratios and open circles indicate adjusted OR for main cofounding factors (age, gender, diabetes mellitus, liver disease, surgical/medical admission, septic shock and haemoglobin at discharge ). Poor physical recovery was defined as a physical component of the Short Form 36 score below the median value (i.e. 53) at one year. The SF-36 was available in 466 patients at one year.
