Table 2:

A summary of patients characteristics in each subpopulation in four data sets. For sepsis patients in each data set, the data over the course of patients’ hospitalization to h hours prior to the onset of sepsis is considered, i.e., the data collected over the gap period is excluded (for h = 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours).
