  1. Results are expressed as count (percentage) or median [interquartile range]. Adjustment on the age, BMI, ADL score, SAPS II, length of ICU stay, mechanical ventilation during ICU stay, and vasopressor requirement. For the ADL score, the variable was ordered from the higher score (6, higher autonomy) to the lower score (0, lower autonomy)
  2. OR, Odds ratio; aOR, adjusted odds ratio, 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; ADL, activities of daily living; BMI, body mass index; SAPS, simplified acute physiology score; ICU, intensive care unit
