  1. Data regarding general characteristics, outcomes, organ dysfunction and illness severity are presented. The sepsis cohort was compared to the non-sepsis cohort, and the p values refer to that comparison. Proportions (%) are within their subgroups unless otherwise specified. ICU: intensive care unit; IQR: interquartile range; SAPS3: Simplified Acute Physiology Score III; EMR30-day: estimated 30-day mortality risk; SOFA: Sequential Organ Failure Assessment; CRRT: continuous renal replacement therapy; bio-ADM: circulating bioactive adrenomedullin
